Overview

Stadovas 5mg Tablet contains Amlodipine 5mg (as amlodipine besylate) and is available as a tablet. It is classified as a prescription medicine and may only be obtained with a valid prescription from a registered medical practitioner.

Only product, safety and handling information is published here. Anything beyond that is explained to you directly by your doctor or pharmacist as part of your consultation.

DoctorOnCall is a licensed online pharmacy. Orders for Stadovas 5mg Tablet are processed only after a doctor has assessed your suitability and issued a prescription, and every order is checked by a registered pharmacist before it is sent out.

Directions for Use

Take Stadovas 5mg Tablet once daily at about the same time each day, with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Because it works gradually, continue taking it regularly even if you do not notice an immediate difference, and do not stop without consulting your doctor.

Dosage

The usual starting dose of Stadovas 5mg Tablet is 5mg once daily, which your doctor may increase up to a maximum of 10mg once daily depending on your blood pressure or angina control, or start at a lower dose in patients with liver problems or in the elderly. Always follow your doctor’s prescribed dose.

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
  • Swelling of the ankles or feet
  • Fatigue

Contraindications

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

Drug / Food Interactions

  • Simvastatin: combining with high-dose amlodipine increases simvastatin levels, so the simvastatin dose is usually capped at 20mg daily
  • Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors such as ketoconazole, clarithromycin, or protease inhibitors can raise amlodipine blood levels
  • Other blood-pressure-lowering medicines may increase the risk of excessively low blood pressure
  • Grapefruit juice may modestly increase amlodipine levels; moderate consumption is usually acceptable but ask your doctor if unsure

Quick Tips

  • Take at the same time each day to help you remember and maintain steady blood levels
  • Report new or worsening ankle swelling to your doctor
  • Rise slowly from sitting or lying down if you feel light-headed
  • Do not stop this medicine abruptly without medical advice
  • Tell your doctor about all other medicines you take, especially statins
