About ESAMLOVIN 5MG TABLET

ESAMLOVIN 5MG TABLET belongs to a class of medicines called calcium channel blockers which are primarily taken to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and angina (chest pain). Hypertension (high blood pressure) is a lifelong or chronic condition in which the blood pressure against the artery walls becomes high. The higher this blood pressure, the harder the heart has to pump. 

ESAMLOVIN 5MG TABLET contains 'S-amlodipine', a calcium channel blocker that acts by relaxing the blood vessels. This reduces the heart's workload and makes the heart more efficient at pumping blood throughout the body. Thus, it helps to lower high blood pressure, reducing the chances of heart attack or stroke.

Take ESAMLOVIN 5MG TABLET with or without food as prescribed by your doctor with a full glass of water. ESAMLOVIN 5MG TABLET may be prescribed alone or in combination with other blood pressure-lowering medicines depending upon your blood pressure levels. Inform your doctor if you are taking any other anti-hypertensive medicine. You may have common side effects like fatigue, ankle swelling, sleepiness, flushing (sense of warmth in the face, ears, neck, and trunk), headache, nausea, dizziness, palpitations, abdominal pain that usually resolves after some time. You must closely monitor your blood pressure if you ever have had a stroke, heart attack, or currently taking other blood pressure-lowering pills. It is advised to continue taking this drug and do not stop taking it suddenly without consulting your doctor.

Inform your doctor if you are allergic to ESAMLOVIN 5MG TABLET. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or are planning to get pregnant, are breastfeeding, have liver disease, kidney disease, heart failure, Shock (including cardiogenic shock), obstruction of the outflow tract of the left ventricle (e.g., high-grade aortic stenosis), unstable angina (excluding Prinzmetal's angina), severe hypotension, hemodynamically unstable heart failure after acute myocardial infarction.

Medicinal Benefits

ESAMLOVIN 5MG TABLET is used to treat heart-related conditions like angina (chest pain) and high blood pressure (hypertension). It is a calcium channel blocker that inhibits the entry of calcium (ions) across the heart which relaxes and widens the smooth muscles for better blood flow. Besides this, ESAMLOVIN 5MG TABLET helps prevent sudden spasms of the coronary artery (blood vessels of the heart) and reduces how hard the heart has to pump blood around the body, lowering its oxygen requirements. It improves an individual’s tolerance to physical activity and exercise and keeps their blood pressure normal during exercise. As a result, it overall protects your heart and keeps your heart healthy.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Hypertension: Hypertension is a chronic condition when blood pressure is too high. 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). Additionally, high blood pressure also causes brain damage (stroke) and kidney failure. High blood pressure can be diagnosed with the help of a blood pressure monitor. Systolic pressure is the pressure with which the heart pumps blood out. On the other hand, diastolic pressure is when your heart is at the resting stage between heartbeats. If your blood pressure is 140/90 mm of Hg, it means the systolic pressure is 140 mm of Hg and, diastolic pressure is 90 mm of Hg. Ideal blood pressure should be between 90/60 mm of Hg and 120/80 mm of Hg.

Angina (chest pain): Angina is a type of chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart. Angina feels like squeezing, pressure, heaviness, tightness, or pain in the chest. It can be sudden or recur over time.
