About Cardace AM Tablet

Cardace AM Tablet is 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 blood vessel's walls. This condition makes the heart work harder to pump blood into the whole body. Hypertension can cause severe health complications, including stroke, heart failure, heart attack and kidney failure.

Cardace AM Tablet contains Amlodipine (calcium channel blocker) and Ramipril (angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor). Amlodipine is used to treat high blood pressure, Prinzmetal's or variant angina (chest pain) and other conditions caused by coronary artery disease. It relaxes blood vessels, so that blood passes through them easily, thereby lowering the blood pressure. It also improves blood supply to the heart muscle to receive more oxygen, thus preventing chest pain. Ramipril relaxes and widens the blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood throughout the body and thereby lowering blood pressure. It also decreases the body’s production of certain substances that raise blood pressure.

Your doctor will advise you how often you take Cardace AM Tablet based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience blurred vision, sweating, confusion, tiredness, stomach upset, flushing (sense of warmth in the face, ears, neck and trunk), dizziness, headache and swelling of the ankles or feet. Most of these side effects of Cardace AM Tablet do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, please reach out to your doctor.

Do not stop taking Cardace AM Tablet without consulting your doctor since it may worsen your condition and increase the risk of future heart problems. Regular monitoring of blood pressure, electrolyte levels, and kidney function is advised while taking Cardace AM Tablet . Inform your doctor if you are suffering from kidney, liver or heart diseases. Please tell your doctor if you are taking any other medicines or have any allergic reactions to Cardace AM Tablet . Reducing the amount of table salt (sodium chloride) in your food often relieves the body's swelling. Let your doctor know if you use any prescription and non-prescription medications you are taking, including vitamins, before starting Cardace AM Tablet . If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please tell your doctor so that the dosage of Cardace AM Tablet can be prescribed accordingly.
