Quick Overview:
Amlokind H is a combination antihypertensive medication that delivers a dual mechanism of action. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that prevents calcium ions from entering the heart and vascular smooth muscles, relaxing and widening blood vessels to lower peripheral resistance. Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic that works on the kidneys to promote the excretion of excess water and sodium from the body. Together, they effectively reduce blood volume and overall blood pressure.

Uses / Indications
Treatment of Hypertension (high blood pressure) when single-drug therapy is not sufficient.
Reducing the risk of serious cardiovascular events such as strokes and heart attacks.
Key Benefits
Provides comprehensive, 24-hour blood pressure management via a synergistic approach.
Combination formulation allows for optimal results often using lower doses of individual components, minimizing dose-dependent side effects.
Helps reduce fluid retention and swelling (edema) caused by excess salt and water.
Substantially protects vital organs against long-term macrovascular and microvascular damage (such as chronic kidney disease and heart failure).
As directed by a physician. Typically taken orally once daily, preferably in the morning with breakfast to avoid having to wake up at night to urinate due to the diuretic effect. Tablets should be swallowed whole with water and must not be crushed, chewed, or broken.
Common: Headache, dizziness, fatigue, sleepiness, ankle swelling (edema), flushing, and nausea.
Severe/Rare: Electrolyte imbalances (such as low potassium or low sodium), increased blood uric acid levels, glucose intolerance, extreme low blood pressure (orthostatic hypotension), and jaundice.
