Overview
Ranbaxy Vamlo 10mg Tablet contains amlodipine 10mg (as amlodipine besylate), a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and chronic stable or vasospastic (Prinzmetal’s) angina.
Amlodipine works by blocking calcium channels in the smooth muscle of blood vessel walls, preventing calcium from entering these cells. This relaxes and widens the blood vessels, lowering blood pressure and improving blood flow to the heart muscle, which reduces the frequency of angina episodes.
How it Works
Amlodipine blocks L-type calcium channels in vascular smooth muscle, reducing calcium influx into these cells. This relaxes the smooth muscle of the arteries, reducing peripheral resistance and lowering blood pressure, and also relieves coronary artery spasm, improving blood flow to the heart muscle.
Directions for Use
Take Ranbaxy Vamlo 10mg Tablet once daily at about the same time each day, with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not stop taking this medicine suddenly without consulting your doctor, as blood pressure and angina control need to be continuous.
Dosage
The usual starting dose of Ranbaxy Vamlo 10mg Tablet for hypertension or angina is 5mg once daily, which your doctor may increase up to a maximum of 10mg once daily depending on your response, and this strength represents a common maintenance dose. Always take exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
