FAQs

AMLOVAS CH TABLET contains Chlorothiazide and Amlodipine. Chlorothiazide works by increasing the amount of urine passed out from the kidneys. It effectively reduces excess fluid levels in the body and treats Edema (swelling) associated with heart, liver, kidney or lung disease. Amlodipine works by relaxing and widening the blood vessels. This, in turn, reduces the heart's workload and makes the heart more efficient at pumping blood throughout the body.
Also known as 'dropsy' or 'hydropsy,' it is a condition of fluid retention in the body characterized by swelling of the body's tissue, including ankles, feet and legs. It is usually caused by standing or sitting in the same position for too long, eating too much salty food and being overweight. Edema mainly affects the lymphatic system (including the circulatory and immune systems) and organs like the tonsils, spleen and thymus, maintaining fluid balance and fighting infections. If it does not subside, please consult your doctor immediately.

About AMLOVAS CH TABLET

AMLOVAS CH TABLET belongs to a group of medicines known as anti-hypertensives, primarily used to treat high blood pressure, heart failure, and edema (a buildup of fluid in the body). Hypertension or high blood pressure is a lifelong or chronic condition in which the force exerted by the blood against the blood vessel (arteries wall) increases. The higher this blood pressure, the harder the heart has to pump. edema may occur in case of high blood pressure where fluids of the body get trapped in the tissues of the hands, arms, feet, ankles and legs, leading to its swelling.

AMLOVAS CH TABLET contains Chlorothiazide and Amlodipine. Chlorothiazide is a diuretic that increases the amount of urine passed out from the kidneys. It effectively reduces excess fluid levels in the body and treats Edema (swelling) associated with heart, liver, kidney or lung disease. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker and works by relaxing and widening the blood vessels. This, in turn, reduces the heart's workload and makes the heart more efficient at pumping blood throughout the body. So, it helps to lower high blood pressure, reducing the chances of heart attack or stroke.

Take AMLOVAS CH TABLET as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take AMLOVAS CH TABLET for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical conditions. You may experience glucose intolerance (low or high level of glucose), ankle swelling, sleepiness, headache, (sense of heat in the face, ears, neck, and trunk), flushing, tiredness, nausea, decreased potassium level in the blood, Increased blood uric acid and altered blood lipid level. Most of these side effects of AMLOVAS CH TABLET do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Try not to stop taking this medicine of your own. Tell your doctor about this, as it may cause a rise in blood pressure and can increase the risk of heart complications like stroke and heart disease. Inform your doctor if you are suffering from any kidney or liver, or heart disease or are diabetic. Taking AMLOVAS CH TABLET during pregnancy may cause side effects like jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes), unexplained bleeding, low blood sugar or an electrolyte imbalance in the newborn baby. Do not use AMLOVAS CH TABLET if you cannot urinate, have low blood pressure (hypotension), or cardiogenic shock (sudden stopping blood flow to the heart). Reducing the amount of table salt (sodium chloride) in your food often relieves the body's swelling.
