About Amlodac D Tablet 10’s

Amlodac D Tablet 10’s belongs to the class of combination medication called ‘anti-hypertensive drugs’, primarily used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). Hypertension is a medical condition, in which the blood exerts high pressure (force exerted by circulating blood) against the blood vessel’s walls. This condition makes the heart to work harder in pumping the blood to the whole body. Hypertension can cause severe health complications, including stroke, heart failure, heart attack and kidney failure.

Amlodac D Tablet 10’s is composed of two medicines, namely: Amlodipine and Indapamide.  Amlodipine belongs to the class of calcium channel blockers and is used to treat high blood pressure. It relaxes blood vessels, so that blood passes through them easily, thereby lowers the blood pressure. Thus, Amlodac D Tablet 10’s lowers the risk of stroke and heart attack in people with diabetes and coronary heart disease with raised cholesterol levels.  Indapamide is a thiazide diuretic that inhibits excess salt absorption in the body, resulting in increased chloride, sodium, and water excretion through urine. This diuresis process (increased urine production) and excess salts and fluid removal help lower blood pressure. Indapamide is also used to treat fluid retention in patients with congestive heart failure.

Patients Concern

Disease/Condition Glossary

Hypertension: It is a chronic condition when blood pressure is too high. Blood pressure is defined as the amount of blood pumped by the heart and the amount of resistance exerted by the arteries against the blood flow. If the heart pumps more blood, then arteries become narrower and in turn, blood pressure becomes high. If blood pressure becomes uncontrolled, it may lead to serious heart diseases, including stroke and heart attack. Additionally, high blood pressure can also cause brain damage (stroke) and kidney failure. Blood pressure is expressed as systolic and diastolic pressures. Systolic blood pressure represents the contraction and relaxation of the heart. Diastolic pressure is exerted in the blood vessels when the heart beats and is in the resting state. Ideal blood pressure should be between 90/60mmHg and 120/80mmHg. Hypertension is detected when systolic blood pressure is more than 140mmHg and diastolic pressure is higher than 90mmHg. Some of the symptoms of hypertension include headache, nose bleed, vomiting, and chest pain.

Oedema: It is a condition caused by a build-up of fluid and swelling in the body parts, especially ankles, feet, and legs.
