Overview
Axcel Amlodipine 10mg Tablet contains amlodipine 10mg, a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and to prevent and treat angina (chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart).
Amlodipine works by blocking calcium from entering the muscle cells of blood vessel walls, causing the blood vessels to relax and widen. This lowers blood pressure and improves blood flow to the heart, easing angina.
How it Works
Amlodipine selectively blocks L-type calcium channels in vascular smooth muscle, reducing calcium influx and preventing muscle contraction in blood vessel walls. This causes sustained vasodilation, which lowers peripheral resistance and blood pressure, and increases blood flow to the heart muscle.
Directions for Use
Take Axcel Amlodipine 10mg Tablet once daily, at about the same time each day, with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole with water. Continue taking this medicine even if you feel well, as blood pressure control needs to be maintained continuously.
Dosage
The usual starting dose of Axcel Amlodipine 10mg Tablet is 5mg once daily, which your doctor may increase up to a maximum of 10mg daily depending on your blood pressure or angina control. Your doctor will determine the right dose for your condition.

Drug / Food Interactions
- Simvastatin doses above 20mg daily should generally be avoided when combined with amlodipine, as it can raise simvastatin levels and increase the risk of muscle-related side effects
- Grapefruit juice may modestly increase amlodipine blood levels – moderate intake is usually acceptable but check with your pharmacist
- Other blood pressure medicines may have an additive blood-pressure-lowering effect when combined
- CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g. certain antifungals, some antibiotics) can raise amlodipine blood levels
Quick Tips

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Axcel Amlodipine 10mg Tablet used for?
Axcel Amlodipine 10mg Tablet is used to treat high blood pressure and to prevent or treat angina (chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart).
How long does it take for amlodipine to work?
Amlodipine can start lowering blood pressure within a few hours, but the full effect is usually seen after about 1-2 weeks of regular use.

Amlodipine widens blood vessels, which can cause fluid to accumulate in the lower legs and ankles in some people. This is a recognised, usually harmless effect, but tell your doctor if it is bothersome or worsens.
