Description
Amlo-Q 10mg — Amlodipine Calcium Channel Blocker for Hypertension & Angina
Amlo-Q 10mg Tablet contains Amlodipine, a long-acting dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker (CCB) for the management of hypertension and chronic stable angina. The 10mg dose is the maximum recommended daily dose, typically prescribed when the 5mg starting dose provides insufficient blood pressure or angina control.
Amlodipine selectively blocks L-type voltage-gated calcium channels in vascular smooth muscle, causing peripheral vasodilation and sustained reduction in blood pressure over 24 hours. Its long half-life (35–50 hours) enables reliable once-daily dosing with minimal peak-trough fluctuations and low risk of reflex tachycardia. Common side effects include peripheral ankle oedema, flushing, and headache. Do not discontinue abruptly. Can be combined with ACE inhibitors, ARBs, beta-blockers, or diuretics as part of stepped hypertension management. Prescription Required.

Usage & Benefits
- Sustained blood pressure control: Amlodipine's long half-life provides 24-hour antihypertensive cover from a single daily dose, minimising BP variability.
- Angina prevention: Reduces myocardial oxygen demand by decreasing peripheral vascular resistance and afterload; also dilates coronary arteries for improved supply.
- Low reflex tachycardia: Gradual onset compared to short-acting CCBs; does not trigger compensatory heart rate increase.
- Cardio- and renoprotective: Long-term blood pressure reduction with Amlodipine is associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular events and kidney damage.
- Combination-compatible: Easily combined with ACE inhibitors, ARBs, beta-blockers, or diuretics for step-up hypertension management.
How To Use
1. Use as directed by your physician/cardiologist. Take once daily with or without food at the same time each day. Swallow whole with water. Monitor blood pressure regularly. Do not stop suddenly — taper under physician guidance to avoid rebound hypertension or angina. Report ankle swelling, severe headache, or palpitations to your doctor. Prescription Required.
FAQs
Why is 10mg prescribed instead of 5mg?
10mg is the maximum recommended dose, used when 5mg provides insufficient blood pressure or angina control after adequate trial. It is not a first-line starting dose.
Can I take Amlo-Q 10mg with food?
Yes — food does not significantly affect Amlodipine absorption. Take at a consistent time daily.
What causes ankle swelling with Amlodipine?
Peripheral vasodilation increases capillary pressure in the legs, causing fluid accumulation. It is dose-dependent and more common at 10mg. Leg elevation may help; inform your doctor if severe.
Is it safe to take Amlo-Q 10mg long-term?
Yes, Amlodipine is one of the most widely used long-term antihypertensives globally. Regular blood pressure and kidney function monitoring is recommended.
Can I stop Amlo-Q 10mg suddenly?
No. Sudden discontinuation can cause rebound hypertension or angina. Always taper under physician supervision.
