Overview

Axcel Amlodipine 5mg Tablet is a prescription-only medicine (POM) presented as a tablet, with Amlodipine 5mg (as amlodipine besylate) as its active ingredient content.

This page is limited to product, safety and handling information, in line with Malaysian rules on prescription medicine information for the public. Your prescriber or pharmacist is the right source for anything beyond that, together with the leaflet inside the pack.

Through DoctorOnCall, this product is supplied after an online consultation with a licensed doctor and a valid prescription, and it is checked by a registered pharmacist before dispensing. Take it exactly as prescribed, and speak to your doctor before stopping, changing the dose, or starting any other medicine alongside it.

Directions for Use

Take Axcel Amlodipine 5mg 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 5mg 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.

Storage Instructions

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.

Side Effects

  • Headache
  • Dizziness or lightheadedness

Contraindications

  • Known hypersensitivity to amlodipine or other dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers
  • Severe hypotension (very low blood pressure)

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

  • Take at the same time each day to help control your blood pressure consistently
  • Report new or worsening ankle swelling to your doctor
  • Rise slowly from sitting or lying down to reduce dizziness
