AMENA 5MG/5MG TABLET belongs to the class of 'anti-hypertensive drugs' primarily 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 the blood vessel's walls. This condition makes the heart work harder in pumping blood to the whole body. Hypertension can cause severe health complications, including stroke, heart failure, heart attack, and kidney failure.

The AMENA 5MG/5MG TABLET contains two medicines: Amlodipine (calcium channel blocker) and Enalapril (angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor). Amlodipine works by relaxing blood vessels to pass through them, thereby lowering the blood pressure easily. It also improves blood supply to the heart muscle to receive more oxygen and thus preventing chest pain. On the other hand, Enalapril works by relaxing and widening the blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood throughout the body, thereby lowering blood pressure. 

Take AMENA 5MG/5MG TABLET as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take AMENA 5MG/5MG TABLET for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending upon 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 AMENA 5MG/5MG 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 AMENA 5MG/5MG 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 functioning is advised while taking AMENA 5MG/5MG TABLET. Inform your doctor if you are suffering from kidney, liver, or heart diseases. 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 AMENA 5MG/5MG TABLET. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please tell your doctor so that the dosage of AMENA 5MG/5MG TABLET can be prescribed accordingly. 

AMENA 5MG/5MG TABLET treats hypertension (high blood pressure), and consists of Amlodipine and Enalapril. Amlodipine is a 'calcium channel blocker,' primarily treats 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 blood pressure. It also treats chest pain by improving the blood supply to the heart muscle to receive more oxygen. Amlodipine also improves a person's tolerance to exercise and keeps the blood pressure at acceptable levels. Enalapril is an 'Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (ACE) Inhibitor.' It relaxes and widens the blood vessels making it easier for the heart to pump blood throughout the body, thereby lowering blood pressure.  

Do not use AMENA 5MG/5MG TABLET if you are allergic to AMENA 5MG/5MG TABLET or any of its components. Please inform your doctor if you are using any prescription and non-prescription medications you are taking, including vitamins, before starting AMENA 5MG/5MG TABLET. Let your doctor know if you have any history of severe heart, kidney, or liver diseases, high potassium levels (hyperkalemia), bone marrow suppression, and aortic stenosis (heart valve problem). It is essential to let your doctor know if you are a breastfeeding mother before using AMENA 5MG/5MG TABLET since Amlodipine may pass into the breast milk. Enalapril is not recommended during pregnancy since it has harmful effects on the unborn baby. Please ask your doctor if you plan to conceive or are pregnant before using AMENA 5MG/5MG TABLET. AMENA 5MG/5MG TABLET can increase the chances of light-headedness so rise slowly if you are sitting/lying and avoid operating any machine or doing any work that needs mental alertness.
