Amlodipine

Amlodipine besylate is an effective treatment that men and women can buy online to help lower and control high blood pressure. It's mostly recommended to people who are at risk of further health problems as a result of their blood pressure. It's also helpful in treating or preventing mild to very serious cases of angina and lowering cholesterol. Amlodipine tablets can also be used as an effective treatment for angina and can also lower cholesterol levels.

Amlodipine is an essential medication when used to effectively prevent any damage to the heart and arteries, which can potentially cause a stroke or heart attack. Amlodipine is classed as a calcium channel blocker and is taken orally in the form of a 5 mg or 10 mg one-a-day tablet.

The smooth muscles situated in the artery walls need calcium to contract. This calcium is supplied to the muscles though special calcium channels. This medicine blocks these channels, causing the calcium to move more slowly to the muscles. If the muscles have a reduced supply of calcium, they don't tend to contract as much, causing them to become more relaxed, making them dilate. This eases the passage of blood through the arteries, so the heart doesn't have to strain as much to get blood circulating sufficiently in your body. The more freely blood can move, the more oxygen-rich blood can reach your heart, which is why it's also used to treat angina. Amlodipine is also an effective treatment for lowering cholesterol (when taken alongside Atorvastatin).

This medicine is a long-term treatment that is usually taken in a single daily dose with or without food until your doctor feels that they are no longer necessary or you require a different type of treatment. It is recommended that Amlodipine tablets should be taken at the same time every day. This medicine is available to buy online in two different doses and a doctor will normally start you off on the lowest dosage (5mg) and increase it with time if necessary. Amlodipine tablets are available to order online at euroClinix in 5mg and 10mg dosages.

You may be able to buy Amlodipine tablets online from euroClinix if you are 18 years or older and have been diagnosed with hypertension by a doctor.

It's not recommended that you take this medicine if you are pregnant, nursing or are allergic to the main ingredient. Also make sure that you mention in your online consultation if you have heart valve problems, congestive heart failure or liver disease as you may not be able to use this treatment if this is the case. You should also ensure that you mention any medications you may be taking, as certain medications may be incompatible with Amlodipine. For example, Amlodipine tablets should be taken with caution if you are currently taking Simvastatin tablets to treat high cholesterol.

Taking the following medications with Amlodipine may increase the risk of Amlodipine side effects or could inhibit the efficacy of the treatment and should therefore be avoided:

• Other medications used to treat high blood pressure such as ACE inhibitors
• Ritonavir (antiviral medication)
• Rifampicin (antibiotic drug)
• St John's Wort
• Diltiazem (for the treatment of heart disease)

If Amlodipine is taken correctly, side effects are rare, but like with all prescription medication there is a slight risk. The more common side effects can include dizziness or light-headedness, headaches, persistent dry coughs and swollen hands, feet or ankles. Speak to your doctor if you experience these, as sometimes-mild side effects are an indication that you may have to take a lower dose or buy a different treatment.
