Amlonis H Tablet

Introduction

Amlonis H is a prescription medication that contains the active ingredients Losartan, Amlodipine, and Hydrochlorothiazide. It is available under the brand name Amlonis H. This medication is primarily used for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure).

Uses

Amlonis H is prescribed to patients with hypertension, a condition characterized by elevated blood pressure levels. It is often used when blood pressure cannot be adequately controlled with a single medication. By combining Losartan, Amlodipine, and Hydrochlorothiazide, Amlonis H helps to lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of complications associated with hypertension.

Dosage and Administration

The dosage of Amlonis H may vary depending on the individual patient’s condition and response to treatment. Follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional. Generally, the usual starting dose is one tablet taken once daily. Your doctor may adjust the dosage as needed. Amlonis H can be taken with or without food, but it is recommended to take it at the same time each day to maintain consistent levels in the body.

Mechanism of Action

Amlonis H contains three active ingredients that work together to lower blood pressure. Losartan belongs to a class of medications called angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), which relax blood vessels and reduce the constriction that leads to increased blood pressure. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that relaxes and widens blood vessels, allowing for smoother blood flow. Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic that helps the body eliminate excess fluid, reducing the volume of blood and lowering blood pressure.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include dizziness, headache, fatigue, and swelling of the ankles. These side effects are usually mild and temporary. However, if you experience any severe or persistent side effects, such as difficulty breathing, chest pain, or signs of an allergic reaction, seek immediate medical attention.

Drug Interactions

inform your healthcare professional about any other medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements, as they may interact with Amlonis H. Some medications, such as certain antifungal agents, may increase the concentration of Amlonis H in the body, potentially increasing the risk of side effects. Conversely, certain medications, such as certain diuretics, may decrease the effectiveness of Amlonis H. Your doctor will carefully consider these potential interactions when prescribing Amlonis H.

Precautions

Before taking Amlonis H, inform your healthcare professional about any medical conditions you have, especially kidney or liver disease. This medication should be used with caution in patients with impaired kidney function. Avoid alcohol consumption while taking Amlonis H, as it may increase the risk of dizziness or fainting. Additionally, Amlonis H is not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Discuss the potential risks and benefits with your doctor.

Storage

Amlonis H should be stored at room temperature, away from moisture and heat. Keep the medication in its original packaging and out of reach of children. Do not use Amlonis H beyond the expiration date printed on the packaging. If you have any unused or expired medication, dispose of it properly according to local regulations or guidelines.
