Overview

Under Malaysian rules for prescription medicines, this page carries product, safety and handling information only. Your doctor or pharmacist will explain whether this medicine is suitable for you, the dose you should take, and how long you should take it.

Directions for Use
Take Plendil 10mg Tablet once daily, in the morning, with or without food, though a light meal is preferred over a very high-fat meal. Swallow the extended-release tablet whole with a glass of water; do not crush, chew, or split it, as this can release the medicine too quickly. Avoid grapefruit juice while taking this medicine.
Dosage
The usual starting dose of Plendil 10mg Tablet is 2.5-5mg once daily, which your doctor may increase up to a maximum of 10mg once daily depending on your blood pressure response. Always take the exact dose prescribed by your doctor, as felodipine is individualised to each patient’s blood pressure control.
