Category: high blood pressure

Main Uses 
S-Amlong 5 Tablet is mainly prescribed to:

• Control high blood pressure (hypertension)

• Prevent chest pain (angina)

• Lower the risk of heart attack, stroke, and heart-related complications

By maintaining healthy blood pressure, it helps protect the heart, brain, and kidneys from long-term damage.

How It Works:

• S-Amlodipine is the active “S-enantiomer” of amlodipine — the more effective and cleaner form of the drug.

• It works by relaxing and widening blood vessels, which allows blood to flow more easily.

• This helps reduce blood pressure, ease chest pain, and improve oxygen supply to the heart muscles with fewer side effects compared to regular amlodipine.

Dosage:

• Usually taken once daily, at the same time each day.

• The exact dose is prescribed by your doctor based on your blood pressure and condition.

• Do not stop taking it suddenly, as this may cause a sudden rise in blood pressure or chest pain.

How to Use:

• Take the tablet by mouth with water, with or without food.

• Swallow it whole — do not crush or chew.

• Keep taking it regularly even if you feel fine, since hypertension often has no symptoms.

Precautions:

• Inform your doctor if you have heart failure, liver problems, or low blood pressure.

• Avoid alcohol, as it may increase dizziness or fainting.

• Stand up slowly from sitting or lying positions to prevent lightheadedness.
