Dip 10 mg Tablet

Dip 10 mg Tablet contains 10 mg of amlodipine in each tablet. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker used to treat high blood pressure and certain types of chest pain (angina). Dip 10 mg Tablet helps relax blood vessels so blood can flow more easily and the heart does not have to work as hard. This medicine is taken by mouth as a standard oral tablet.

How it works: Amlodipine blocks calcium from entering the muscle cells in blood vessel walls, which helps the vessels relax and widen. As a tablet, Dip 10 mg Tablet delivers the medicine through the digestive system for steady, once-daily blood pressure control.

Dip 10 mg Tablet is the higher-strength tablet in amlodipine therapy, so it is usually chosen only after a doctor has assessed blood pressure, symptoms, and how a lower dose is working. Because it delivers 10 mg in one tablet, it may be used when a patient needs a full maintenance dose rather than a lower starting amount. Dip 10 mg Tablet is not intended for self-adjusting doses, and the tablet strength should match the prescription exactly.

• High blood pressure (hypertension)
• Chest pain due to coronary artery disease (angina)
• May help lower the risk of blood pressure-related complications when used as prescribed

• Swallow Dip 10 mg Tablet whole with water unless your doctor gives different instructions.
• Take it at the same time each day to help keep a steady effect.
• It can be taken with or without food.

Each Dip 10 mg Tablet provides 10 mg of amlodipine. The usual schedule is once daily, but the exact dose and whether 10 mg is appropriate must be decided by a doctor based on your condition and response. Do not take more than 10 mg in 24 hours unless your prescriber specifically instructs otherwise.

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