Lofral 5mg Tablet 10s (Strip)

Lofral 5mg Tablet belongs to a class of medications called calcium channel blockers, with amlodipine besylate as its active ingredient, working by relaxing the blood vessels to lower blood pressure and ease the heart's workload. If you're starting this medication, you're probably wondering how it fits into your routine — it's taken once daily, with or without food, and taking it at the same time each day makes it easier to build into your schedule. Some people experience swelling in the legs or ankles as a fairly common effect, along with headache, tiredness, dizziness, or facial flushing, particularly when starting treatment or after a dose increase. It's meant to be taken consistently for the whole duration your doctor has recommended, and your condition may worsen if you stop taking it on your own, even if you're feeling well. Because this medication isn't suitable for treating a sudden angina attack and has some important precautions around liver and heart conditions, it's worth having a thorough discussion with your doctor about your medical history before starting this medicine.

For both hypertension and angina, the usual starting dose is 5mg once daily, which your doctor may increase to a maximum of 10mg once daily depending on your response. Elderly patients or those with liver impairment generally start on a lower 2.5mg dose, so your doctor will determine the exact regimen suited to you.

• Oedema (fluid accumulation, typically in the legs or ankles) — very common
• Headache
• Dizziness

Store the tablets at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture, in their original packaging. Keep out of reach of children.

• Take once daily, at the same time, with or without food
• Continue taking it for the full duration prescribed, even if you feel well
• Avoid alcohol while taking this medication
• Check the expiry date before use
• Store at room temperature, away from heat and moisture
• Keep out of reach of children
• Avoid driving or operating machinery if you experience dizziness or visual disturbances
• Report persistent swelling of the legs or ankles to your doctor

Swallow the tablet with a glass of water, once daily, with or without food, ideally at the same time each day. Continue taking it for the full duration recommended by your doctor, and do not stop on your own even if you feel well, as your condition may worsen.

Lofral 5mg Tablet generally has a shelf life of around 2–3 years from the date of manufacture when stored correctly and unopened. Always check the expiry date printed on the strip and outer packaging before use.

• Amlodipine Besylate – a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker

• Known hypersensitivity to amlodipine or other calcium channel antagonists
• Severe hypotension (very low blood pressure)
• Severe aortic stenosis
• Cardiogenic shock
• Unstable angina, except Prinzmetal's angina
• Caution advised in patients with congestive heart failure, sick sinus syndrome, severe ventricular dysfunction, or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

Alcohol is best avoided with this medication, as it may worsen side effects like headache, dizziness, and visual disturbances, and both are processed by the liver, so combining them raises the risk of liver strain. Lofral may also interact with simvastatin (significantly raising its blood levels), theophylline, ergotamine, and other blood pressure medications, so it's important to inform your doctor or pharmacist about all other medications you're taking.
