What is Amlopres 2.5mg Used For?
- Starting dose for elderly patients and those with liver impairment requiring careful blood pressure reduction.
- Initial hypertension therapy in patients intolerant to standard Amlodipine doses.
- Allows dose titration before advancing to 5mg or 10mg.
How Does Amlopres 2.5mg Work?
- Amlodipine is a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker that blocks L-type calcium channels in vascular smooth muscle.
- Gently relaxes blood vessel walls, reducing peripheral resistance and lowering blood pressure.
- Duration of action is 24 hours (half-life 35–50 hours) — once-daily dosing is sufficient.
- Side effects are least common at this lowest available dose.
How to Use Amlopres 2.5mg
Dosage: 2.5mg once daily; your doctor may increase to 5mg after 2–4 weeks if response is inadequate.
Timing: Take at the same time each day, with or without food.
Precaution: Do not stop abruptly. Avoid grapefruit juice. Consult your doctor before any dose change.
Side Effects of Amlopres 2.5mg
Common Side Effects: Ankle swelling (minimal at this dose), headache, flushing, dizziness.
Serious Side Effects (seek medical help): Severe hypotension, chest pain, severe allergic reaction, irregular heartbeat.
Benefits
- Lowest Amlodipine dose — significantly reduces the risk of dose-related side effects.
- Preferred for elderly patients and those with hepatic impairment.
- Cipla-manufactured product with consistent quality standards.
- Once-daily dosing for sustained blood pressure control.
- Safe alongside diabetes medicines, diuretics, ACE inhibitors, and ARBs.
Warnings and Precautions
- Contraindicated in severe aortic stenosis and cardiogenic shock.
- Patients with hepatic impairment should begin at 2.5mg and titrate slowly.
- May cause orthostatic hypotension — elderly patients should rise slowly from sitting.
- Do not stop abruptly — consult your doctor for supervised discontinuation.
- Inform your prescriber of all current medications including supplements.
Drug Interactions
- Simvastatin: do not exceed 20mg/day when co-administering with Amlodipine.
- CYP3A4 inhibitors (ketoconazole, clarithromycin, ritonavir): may increase Amlodipine levels.
- Grapefruit juice: inhibits CYP3A4 metabolism even at low doses — avoid throughout treatment.
- Other antihypertensives or diuretics: additive hypotensive effect — monitor blood pressure.
Storage Information
- Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct light and moisture.
- Keep out of reach of children; check expiry date before use.
