Zilos-AM Tablet

Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker, inhibits the influx of calcium ions into vascular smooth muscle and cardiac muscle cells, resulting in peripheral arterial vasodilation and decreased systemic vascular resistance. The synergistic effect of these two agents provides effective blood pressure control, improving patient compliance by reducing pill burden. Zilos-AM is particularly beneficial in patients who require dual antihypertensive therapy or those inadequately controlled on monotherapy.

It is also useful in reducing the risk of stroke, myocardial infarction, and other cardiovascular events associated with hypertension. Dosage should be individualized based on patient response and tolerability, with regular monitoring of blood pressure and renal function recommended. Contraindications include hypersensitivity to either component, pregnancy, and severe hepatic impairment.

Adverse effects may include dizziness, hypotension, peripheral edema, and hyperkalemia.
