Mozart AM TAB

Description

Mozart AM Tab is a combination medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It’s often prescribed when a single medication isn’t sufficient to control blood pressure effectively.

Ingredients: Mozart AM Tab typically contains two active ingredients:

• Losartan (an Angiotensin Receptor Blocker – ARB)
• Amlodipine (a Calcium Channel Blocker – CCB)

Common strengths found are Losartan 50mg + Amlodipine 5mg.

How it works:

• Losartan works by blocking the action of a natural substance in the body (angiotensin II) that narrows blood vessels. This helps blood vessels relax and widen, lowering blood pressure.
• Amlodipine works by blocking calcium channels in the heart and blood vessel muscles. This causes blood vessels to relax and widen, also contributing to lower blood pressure and improved blood flow to the heart.

By combining these two mechanisms, Mozart AM provides a more comprehensive approach to managing high blood pressure.

Manufacturer: Mozart AM Tab is manufactured by Magnus Pharma Pvt. Ltd. in Nepal.

Uses:

• Treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure), especially when a single drug is not enough.
• May also be used to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke.

Dosage and Administration: The typical dosage is usually one tablet once daily. Your doctor will determine the exact dose based on your condition and response to treatment. It can be taken with or without food.

Important Considerations and Side Effects:

• Common side effects can include: headache, dizziness, swelling of the ankles or feet (edema), fatigue, sleepiness, upset stomach, back pain, and nasal congestion.
• Serious side effects are rare but can include: severe low blood pressure, kidney problems, liver problems, and allergic reactions (swelling of face, lips, tongue, or throat).
• Precautions: Inform your doctor if you have kidney or liver problems, heart conditions, or are severely dehydrated.
• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Generally not recommended during pregnancy (especially in the second and third trimeters) or breastfeeding due to potential harm to the baby.
• Interactions: Inform your doctor about all other medications you are taking, especially potassium supplements, diuretics, NSAIDs, lithium, and certain antifungals.

Always take this medicine exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not stop taking it suddenly without consulting your doctor, as this can lead to a sudden increase in blood pressure. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, contact your doctor immediately.
