About Amtas E Tablet 15's

Amtas E Tablet 15's belongs to the class of 'anti-hypertensive drugs' primarily used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). Hypertension is a medical condition in which the blood exerts high pressure (force exerted by circulating blood) against the blood vessel's walls. This condition makes the heart work harder in pumping blood to the whole body. Hypertension can cause severe health complications, including stroke, heart failure, heart attack, and kidney failure.

The Amtas E Tablet 15's contains two medicines: Amlodipine (calcium channel blocker) and Enalapril (angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor). Amlodipine works by relaxing blood vessels to pass through them, thereby lowering the blood pressure easily. It also improves blood supply to the heart muscle to receive more oxygen and thus preventing chest pain. On the other hand, Enalapril works by relaxing and widening the blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood throughout the body, thereby lowering blood pressure. 

Take Amtas E Tablet 15's as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take Amtas E Tablet 15's for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending upon your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience blurred vision, sweating, confusion, tiredness, stomach upset, flushing (sense of warmth in the face, ears, neck, and trunk), dizziness, headache, and swelling of the ankles or feet. Most of these side effects of Amtas E Tablet 15's do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, please reach out to your doctor.

Do not stop taking Amtas E Tablet 15's without consulting your doctor since it may worsen your condition and increase the risk of future heart problems. Regular monitoring of blood pressure, electrolyte levels, and kidney functioning is advised while taking Amtas E Tablet 15's. Inform your doctor if you are suffering from kidney, liver, or heart diseases. Reducing the amount of table salt (sodium chloride) in your food often relieves the body's swelling. Let your doctor know if you use any prescription and non-prescription medications you are taking, including vitamins, before starting Amtas E Tablet 15's. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please tell your doctor so that the dosage of Amtas E Tablet 15's can be prescribed accordingly.

Directions for Use

Take Amtas E Tablet 15's with or without food as directed by your physician. Swallow it as a whole with a glass of water. Do not crush, chew, or break it. Try to take it at a fixed time every day. Do not double the dose if missed.

Medicinal Benefits

Amtas E Tablet 15's treats hypertension (high blood pressure), and consists of Amlodipine and Enalapril. Amlodipine is a 'calcium channel blocker,' primarily treats high blood pressure, Prinzmetal's or variant angina (chest pain), and other conditions caused by coronary artery disease. It relaxes blood vessels so that blood passes through them easily, thereby lowering blood pressure. It also treats chest pain by improving the blood supply to the heart muscle to receive more oxygen. Amlodipine also improves a person's tolerance to exercise and keeps the blood pressure at acceptable levels. Enalapril is an 'Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (ACE) Inhibitor.' It relaxes and widens the blood vessels making it easier for the heart to pump blood throughout the body, thereby lowering blood pressure.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Hypertension: It is a chronic condition when blood pressure is too high. Blood pressure is defined as the amount of blood pumped by the heart and the amount of resistance exerted by the arteries against the blood flow. If the heart pumps more blood, then arteries become narrower, and in turn, blood pressure becomes high. If blood pressure becomes uncontrolled, it may lead to serious heart diseases, including stroke and heart attack. Additionally, high blood pressure can also cause brain damage (stroke) and kidney failure. Blood pressure is expressed as systolic and diastolic pressures. Systolic blood pressure represents the contraction and relaxation of the heart. Diastolic pressure is exerted in the blood vessels when the heart beats and is in the resting state. Ideal blood pressure should be between 90/60mmHg and 120/80mmHg. Hypertension is detected when systolic blood pressure is more than 140mmHg, and diastolic pressure is higher than 90mmHg. Some of the symptoms of hypertension include headache, nose bleed, vomiting, and chest pain.
