AMLOVAS CH TABLET

Question 1

How does AMLOVAS CH TABLET work?

Accepted Answer

AMLOVAS CH TABLET contains Chlorothiazide and Amlodipine. Chlorothiazide works by increasing the amount of urine passed out from the kidneys. It effectively reduces excess fluid levels in the body and treats Edema (swelling) associated with heart, liver, kidney or lung disease. Amlodipine works by relaxing and widening the blood vessels. This, in turn, reduces the heart's workload and makes the heart more efficient at pumping blood throughout the body.

Question 2

What is Edema?

Accepted Answer

Also known as 'dropsy' or 'hydropsy,' it is a condition of fluid retention in the body characterized by swelling of the body's tissue, including ankles, feet and legs. It is usually caused by standing or sitting in the same position for too long, eating too much salty food and being overweight. Edema mainly affects the lymphatic system (including the circulatory and immune systems) and organs like the tonsils, spleen and thymus, maintaining fluid balance and fighting infections. If it does not subside, please consult your doctor immediately.

Question 3

Will AMLOVAS CH TABLET affect my fertility?
