Storvas Amf 5 + 10 mg Tablet

Storvas Amf 5 + 10 mg Tablet is a combination medicine that contains amlodipine 5 mg and atorvastatin 10 mg in each tablet. It belongs to the calcium channel blocker and statin drug classes, and it is used for people who need treatment for high blood pressure, chest pain (angina), and high cholesterol together. By helping the heart work with less strain and lowering “bad” cholesterol, Storvas Amf 5 + 10 mg Tablet supports long-term cardiovascular risk reduction. This product is the tablet form from Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., supplied in strips/boxes of 10 tablets.

How it works: Amlodipine relaxes and widens blood vessels, which lowers blood pressure and helps the heart receive more oxygen-rich blood, easing angina symptoms. Atorvastatin reduces the liver’s production of cholesterol, helping lower LDL cholesterol and reduce plaque buildup, and the tablet combines both actions in one oral dose.

This Storvas Amf 5 + 10 mg Tablet is a standard fixed-dose combination, not a starting dose for everyone. The 10 mg atorvastatin component is a lower statin dose than higher-strength versions used when a doctor wants more cholesterol-lowering effect, while the 5 mg amlodipine component is the usual low-to-moderate blood pressure/angina dose in combination therapy. A doctor may choose this tablet when both conditions need treatment and a gentler, once-daily option is appropriate.

• High blood pressure
• Chronic angina (chest pain)
• High LDL cholesterol
• Mixed cardiovascular risk management
• Reducing the chance of heart-related complications in selected patients

• Swallow the Storvas Amf 5 + 10 mg Tablet whole with water; do not crush or chew unless your clinician specifically tells you otherwise.
• Take it once daily exactly as prescribed, at the same time each day.
• It can usually be taken with or without food.
• Do not stop taking the tablet just because you feel well; blood pressure and cholesterol medicines often work best when taken continuously.
• Avoid grapefruit or grapefruit juice unless your doctor says it is okay, because it can increase atorvastatin exposure.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is close to the next dose; do not double up.

Each Storvas Amf 5 + 10 mg Tablet provides amlodipine 5 mg plus atorvastatin 10 mg. This combination is typically taken once daily, but the exact schedule depends on your doctor’s plan for blood pressure, chest pain, and cholesterol control. Do not take more than the prescribed daily amount; your clinician decides the dose and whether this fixed combination is appropriate for you.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.

• Swelling of the ankles or feet
• Dizziness or lightheadedness
• Headache
