Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve upon discontinuing the use of Amlosafe H Tablet.

Amlosafe H Tablet contains two active ingredients:

Amlodipine (5 mg): As a calcium channel blocker, amlodipine works by relaxing the smooth muscles present in your blood vessel walls. This action causes the blood vessels to widen, a process known as vasodilation, which improves the flow of blood. By doing so, amlodipine effectively reduces the workload on your heart and lowers your blood pressure.
Hydrochlorothiazide (12.5 mg): This ingredient acts as a diuretic, which helps your body to get rid of excess water and salt. It increases your urine output, thereby reducing the volume of fluid flowing through your blood vessels. This action of hydrochlorothiazide contributes to lowering your blood pressure.

Pregnancy

Amlosafe H Tablet is not recommended during pregnancy, especially in the second and third trimesters as it may cause harm to the foetus. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Breastfeeding

This medicine is not suggested for use while breastfeeding. Hydrochlorothiazide present in the tablet can pass into breast milk and may harm the nursing infant. Do consult your doctor before taking Amlosafe H Tablet.
