Benefits of amlodipine besilate 10 mg

The 10 mg dose is a common maintenance dose for adults when a lower dose (such as 5 mg) is not enough.

Its benefits include:

• Lowers high blood pressure, which reduces the risk of:
  • Heart attack
  • Stroke
  • Kidney damage
• Helps prevent chest pain (angina) by improving blood flow to the heart.
• Reduces strain on the heart, making it easier for the heart to pump blood.
• Usually only needs to be taken once a day.
• Can be taken with or without food.

How it works

Amlodipine relaxes and widens your blood vessels. This allows blood to flow more easily, which lowers blood pressure and improves oxygen delivery to the heart.

Common side effects

Many people tolerate it well, but possible side effects include:

• Swollen ankles or feet (the most common side effect)
• Headache
• Flushing (feeling warm or redness in the face)
• Dizziness, especially when standing up
• Tiredness
• Heart palpitations

These are often mild and may improve as your body adjusts.

Serious side effects (seek medical attention promptly)

Although uncommon, get medical help if you experience:

• Chest pain that is new or worsening
• Fainting
• Severe dizziness
• Difficulty breathing
• Swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat (possible allergic reaction)

Tips for taking it

• Take it at the same time each day.
• Don’t stop taking it without discussing it with your healthcare provider, even if you feel well, because high blood pressure often has no symptoms.
• If it makes you feel dizzy, be cautious when standing up quickly.
