Amcard 5 Tablet is a prescription medicine used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and prevent angina (chest pain). It belongs to a class of drugs known as calcium channel blockers, which help relax and widen blood vessels so blood can flow more easily. This reduces pressure on the heart and helps prevent complications such as heart attacks, strokes, kidney problems, and other cardiovascular issues.
Amcard 5 Tablet may be used alone or in combination with other medicines, depending on your condition. While you may not feel an immediate difference in how you feel, the medication is working in the background to help maintain a healthier heart and blood vessel system.
It should be taken at the same time every day, with or without food. Do not stop taking this medicine without your doctor’s advice, even if you feel well, because high blood pressure often has no symptoms. Lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, a low-salt diet, and weight management can enhance the effectiveness of the treatment.
