Quick Overview:
Amtas 10 contains a higher clinical strength of Amlodipine, a long-acting dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker (CCB). It functions by selectively blocking the movement of extracellular calcium ions through voltage-gated L-type calcium channels into vascular smooth muscle cells and myocardial (heart) muscle cells.

Uses / Indications
Severe or Refractory Hypertension: Prescribed when a 5 mg baseline dose is insufficient to safely achieve blood pressure targets.
Chronic Stable Angina: Relieves and prevents severe heart-related chest pain.
Vasospastic (Prinzmetal’s or Variant) Angina: Used to prevent pain caused by sudden spasms within the coronary arteries.
Key Benefits
Robust 24-Hour Vascular Control: Its long elimination half-life provides continuous blood pressure management, helping prevent early morning hypertensive surges.
Proactive Angina Protection: Decreases the frequency and intensity of chest pain episodes, noticeably improving exercise tolerance and daily physical capacity.
Gradual, Safe Action: Its progressive mechanism of action avoids sudden drops in blood pressure, helping prevent reflex tachycardia (a racing heart rate).
As Directed by a Physician: Taken exactly as titrated for your specific cardiovascular profile. 10 mg once daily is generally the maximum recommended daily dose for adults.
Significant Peripheral Edema: Swelling in the ankles, feet, or lower legs due to fluid shift (more pronounced at the 10 mg dose)
Flushing (sudden warmth or redness in the face or neck)
Dizziness, lightheadedness, or headaches
Fatigue, tiredness, or unusual drowsiness
Palpitations (awareness of a fast or irregular heartbeat)
