What is Amlong 2.5mg Used For?
- Starting dose for elderly patients and those with liver impairment requiring gradual blood pressure reduction.
- Initial therapy for hypertension or angina in patients sensitive to standard Amlodipine doses.
- Blood pressure control in patients who experienced side effects (ankle swelling) on higher doses.
How Does Amlong 2.5mg Work?
- Amlodipine is a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker that blocks L-type calcium channels in vascular smooth muscle.
- Relaxes blood vessel walls and reduces peripheral resistance, lowering blood pressure.
- Provides sustained 24-hour blood pressure control with once-daily dosing (half-life 35–50 hours).
- Does not significantly affect heart rate or cardiac contractility at therapeutic doses.
How to Use Amlong 2.5mg
Dosage: 2.5mg once daily; dose may be increased to 5mg after 2–4 weeks if blood pressure targets are not reached.
Timing: Take at the same time each day, with or without food.
Precaution: Do not stop abruptly. Avoid grapefruit juice. Monitor blood pressure regularly.
Side Effects of Amlong 2.5mg
Common Side Effects: Ankle swelling (least common at this dose), headache, flushing, dizziness.
Serious Side Effects (seek medical help): Severe hypotension, chest pain, severe allergic reaction, irregular heartbeat.

- Grapefruit juice: inhibits CYP3A4 metabolism — avoid during treatment.
- Other antihypertensives: additive blood pressure-lowering effect — monitor for hypotension.
