About This Medicine
Product description & overview
Lupidip 5 Tablet contains Amlodipine 5 mg, a calcium channel blocker used primarily in the management of hypertension and angina pectoris. Amlodipine acts by inhibiting the influx of calcium ions into vascular smooth muscle and cardiac muscle cells, leading to vasodilation and reduced peripheral vascular resistance. This mechanism helps lower blood pressure and improves oxygen delivery to the myocardium, thereby alleviating chest pain associated with angina. Lupidip 5 is indicated for the treatment of essential hypertension, chronic stable angina, and vasospastic angina. It is particularly beneficial in patients who require long-term blood pressure control and prevention of angina attacks. The drug is administered orally, typically once daily, due to its prolonged half-life, ensuring sustained therapeutic effects. Common side effects may include peripheral edema, dizziness, flushing, and palpitations, though it is generally well tolerated. Caution is advised in patients with severe hypotension, aortic stenosis, or heart failure. Dose adjustments may be necessary in hepatic impairment. Lupidip 5 should be used under medical supervision, with regular monitoring of blood pressure and clinical response to optimize treatment outcomes and minimize potential adverse effects.
