Amlo E 5 mg/5 mg Tablet
Amlo E 5 mg/5 mg Tablet is used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). It contains Amlodipine and Enalapril, which works by relaxing and widening blood vessels and lowering the blood pressure. Also, it improves blood supply to the heart muscle to receive more oxygen and thus preventing chest pain. In some cases, it may cause side effects such as 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. Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions.
