About Cardiomart AP 5mg/4mg Tablet

Cardiomart AP 5mg/4mg Tablet belongs to the group of anti-hypertensive medicines used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Additionally, it is also used to treat stable coronary artery disease. High blood pressure is a condition in which the blood exerts increased pressure on the walls of blood vessels. Stable coronary artery disease is a condition in which the blood supply to the heart is blocked or reduced.
 
Cardiomart AP 5mg/4mg Tablet is a combination of two drugs, namely: Amlodipine and Perindopril erbumine. Amlodipine relaxes the blood vessels, thereby improves blood flow. Perindopril erbumine widens the blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood through them. Together, Cardiomart AP 5mg/4mg Tablet helps lower the blood pressure, thereby reduces the chances of heart problems such as heart attack and stroke.  
 
You are advised to take Cardiomart AP 5mg/4mg Tablet for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects such as oedema, headache, dizziness, nausea, and abdominal pain. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.
 
Cardiomart AP 5mg/4mg Tablet is not recommended during early pregnancy and should not be taken when more than 3months pregnant as it may cause serious harm to the baby. Cardiomart AP 5mg/4mg Tablet is not recommended for breastfeeding mothers and children. Cardiomart AP 5mg/4mg Tablet may cause dizziness, so drive with caution.

Disease/Condition Glossary

High blood pressure (hypertension): It is a condition in which the blood exerts increased pressure on the walls of blood vessels leading to hypertension. This condition can lead to hardened arteries (blood vessels), decreasing the blood and oxygen flow to the heart. Raised blood pressure can cause chest pain (angina) and heart attack (when the blood supply to the heart is blocked). High blood pressure also causes brain damage (stroke) and kidney failure. Symptoms of high blood pressure include headache, dizziness, nose bleed, changes in vision, chest pain, weakness and dyspnoea (shortness of breath). However, most of the time, the signs and symptoms of hypertension are none.

Stable coronary artery disease: It is a condition in which the blood supply to the heart is blocked or reduced. Atherosclerosis (build-up of plaque in the arteries) is the main cause of stable coronary artery disease.
