Description

Mylod 10mg Tab is a medication manufactured by Quest Pharmaceuticals Pvt. Ltd. in Nepal.

Here’s a breakdown of the key information:

Ingredient: The active ingredient in Mylod 10mg Tab is Amlodipine 10mg.

Drug Class: Amlodipine belongs to a class of medications called Calcium Channel Blockers (CCBs).

Uses: Mylod 10mg is primarily used to treat:

• High blood pressure (hypertension): It helps relax blood vessels, making it easier for blood to flow and lowering blood pressure.
• Angina (chest pain): This includes chronic stable angina and vasospastic (Prinzmetal’s or variant) angina. It helps increase the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart.
• Raynaud’s disease
• Coronary Artery Disease
• Stroke prevention

How it works: Amlodipine works by blocking the entry of calcium ions into the muscle cells of the heart and blood vessels. This causes the blood vessels to relax and widen, leading to lower blood pressure and improved blood flow to the heart.

Dosage and Administration: The usual adult dose for both hypertension and angina is typically 5 mg once daily, which may be increased to a maximum of 10 mg once daily if necessary, based on the patient’s response. It can be taken with or without food.

Important Considerations and Side Effects:

• Common side effects include: ankle swelling (edema), headache, fatigue, dizziness, nausea, abdominal pain, drowsiness, and flushing.
• Serious side effects are rare but can include: more frequent or severe chest pain (especially when first starting or increasing the dose), rapid or irregular heartbeat, fainting, and allergic reactions (swelling of face, lips, tongue, or throat, hives).
• Precautions: Use with caution in patients with liver problems, severe aortic stenosis, or severe obstructive coronary artery disease.
• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to be, or breastfeeding.
• Interactions: Inform your doctor about all other medications you are taking, especially other blood pressure medications, certain antifungals, ritonavir, simvastatin, ciclosporin, etc.
• Monitoring: Your doctor may monitor your blood pressure regularly.
