Tamlod 10 mg Tablet

Tamlod 10 mg Tablet is a prescription medicine that contains 10 mg of amlodipine in each tablet. Amlodipine belongs to the calcium channel blocker class, which helps relax blood vessels so blood can flow more easily. It is used to treat high blood pressure and certain types of chest pain (angina). Lowering blood pressure can also help reduce the risk of stroke and heart-related complications over time.

How it works: Amlodipine works by relaxing the muscles in blood vessel walls, which widens the vessels and lowers blood pressure. In tablet form, Tamlod 10 mg Tablet is swallowed and then absorbed into the body to provide long-acting blood pressure control.

Tamlod 10 mg Tablet is the higher-strength version of amlodipine and is usually chosen when a doctor wants the full standard adult dose in one tablet. Because there is no lower-strength or alternate form listed for this brand, this 10 mg tablet is not meant for self-starting or casual dose changes. It is best suited for patients whose clinician has already decided that 10 mg once daily is appropriate based on response and tolerance.

• High blood pressure (hypertension)
• Chronic stable angina
• Vasospastic angina (Prinzmetal-type chest pain)
• Lowering cardiovascular risk in some patients with hypertension

• Swallow Tamlod 10 mg Tablet whole with a glass of water.
• Take it once daily at the same time each day unless your doctor gives different instructions.
• It can be taken with or without food; meals do not usually affect this tablet.
• Do not crush or chew the tablet unless your pharmacist or doctor tells you to.
• If it causes dizziness, take your first doses when you can sit or lie down if needed.
• Keep taking Tamlod 10 mg Tablet even if you feel well, because high blood pressure often has no symptoms.

Each Tamlod 10 mg Tablet provides 10 mg of amlodipine in one tablet. This strength is commonly taken once daily, and 10 mg per day is the usual maximum adult dose for amlodipine unless your doctor specifically changes the plan. Your prescriber decides the dose based on your condition, blood pressure response, and side effects.

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

Common side effects of Amlodipine may include:

• Swelling of the ankles or feet, which can be more noticeable at the 10 mg strength
• Dizziness or lightheadedness
• Flushing
• Headache
• Fatigue
• Palpitations
• Sleepiness

• Tamlod 10 mg Tablet is a full-strength amlodipine dose, so it may cause more swelling or dizziness in some people than lower strengths.
• Get up slowly from sitting or lying positions to reduce the risk of lightheadedness.
• Use caution with alcohol, which can add to dizziness and low blood pressure.
• Tell your doctor if you have liver disease, severe aortic stenosis, heart failure, or a recent heart attack.
• Do not use it to treat sudden chest pain; emergency care may be needed for acute symptoms.

• Do not stop or change the dose on your own, even if your blood pressure improves.

• Other blood pressure medicines, which can increase the chance of low blood pressure

• CYP3A4 inducers such as rifampin, carbamazepine, or phenytoin, which may reduce effect
• Alcohol, which may worsen dizziness and flushing
