What is Amlovas 10mg Used For?
- Maximum standard Amlodipine dose for hypertension not controlled at 5mg.
- Chronic stable angina — reduces chest pain frequency and improves exercise capacity.
- Cardiovascular risk reduction in patients with coronary artery disease.
How Does Amlovas 10mg Work?
- Amlodipine is a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker that blocks L-type calcium channels in vascular smooth muscle.
- Causes marked relaxation of arterial walls, reducing systemic vascular resistance and blood pressure.
- Increases coronary blood flow, reducing myocardial oxygen demand and relieving angina.
- Provides sustained 24-hour antihypertensive effect with once-daily dosing (half-life 35–50 hours).
How to Use Amlovas 10mg
Dosage: 10mg once daily (maximum standard dose); prescribed after titration from lower Amlodipine doses.
Timing: Take at the same time each day, with or without food.
Precaution: Do not stop abruptly. Avoid grapefruit juice. Monitor for ankle swelling.

Drug Interactions

- CYP3A4 inhibitors (ketoconazole, clarithromycin, ritonavir): may significantly increase Amlodipine exposure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is Amlovas Amlodipine 10mg used for?
Amlovas 10mg contains Amlodipine Besylate 10mg, the maximum standard dose. It treats high blood pressure and stable angina, used when lower Amlodipine doses have not adequately controlled blood pressure.
Q2: How does Amlodipine 10mg lower blood pressure?
Amlodipine blocks calcium channels in blood vessel walls, causing smooth muscle to relax. This widens the arteries, reduces peripheral resistance, and lowers blood pressure.
Q3: How quickly does Amlovas 10mg work?
Blood pressure begins to fall within 24 to 48 hours. The full therapeutic effect typically establishes over 1 to 2 weeks of daily use.
Q4: Does Amlovas 10mg cause ankle swelling?
Ankle oedema is the most common side effect at 10mg, affecting 10–20% of patients. Elevating legs and reducing salt intake helps. Speak to your doctor if it is bothersome.
Q5: Can I take Amlovas 10mg with food?
Yes. Food does not significantly affect Amlodipine absorption. Take it consistently at the same time each day.
Q6: What are the common side effects?
Common side effects include ankle swelling, flushing, headache, and mild dizziness. Most are mild and tend to improve after the first few weeks.
Q7: Can I stop Amlovas 10mg suddenly?
No. Always consult your doctor before stopping. Abrupt withdrawal can cause a rebound rise in blood pressure.
Q8: Is Amlodipine 10mg safe for diabetic patients?
Yes. Amlodipine does not affect blood glucose and is widely used alongside diabetes medicines without significant interactions.
Q9: Should I avoid grapefruit with Amlovas 10mg?
Yes. Grapefruit inhibits the CYP3A4 enzyme that metabolises Amlodipine, which can increase blood levels and intensify side effects. Avoid grapefruit juice during treatment.
Q10: What if I miss a dose?
Take it as soon as you remember on the same day. If it is the next day, skip the missed dose and continue your usual schedule. Never double up.
Q11: Is Amlovas 10mg safe for elderly patients?
Yes, with monitoring. Elderly patients may be more sensitive to dizziness when standing. Rise slowly from sitting or lying positions.
Q12: How should I store Amlovas 10mg tablets?
Store at room temperature below 30°C, away from heat, light, and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
