Overview
Sandoz Amlibon 10mg Tablet contains amlodipine 10mg (as amlodipine besylate), a calcium channel blocker used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and chronic stable or vasospastic (Prinzmetal’s) angina.
Amlodipine blocks calcium from entering the smooth muscle cells lining blood vessel walls, causing the vessels to relax and widen. This lowers blood pressure and, in angina, improves blood flow to the heart muscle by reducing the workload the heart must pump against.
How it Works
Amlodipine blocks L-type calcium channels in vascular smooth muscle, reducing calcium influx into these cells. This relaxes and widens blood vessels (vasodilation), lowering peripheral resistance and blood pressure, and in angina, easing spasm of the coronary arteries and reducing the heart’s oxygen demand.
Directions for Use
Take Sandoz Amlibon 10mg Tablet once daily at about the same time each day, with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Continue taking it even if you feel well, as blood pressure control is usually silent and long-term.
Dosage
The usual starting dose of Sandoz Amlibon 10mg 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 response. Always take exactly as prescribed by your doctor.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Sandoz Amlibon 10mg Tablet used for?
Sandoz Amlibon 10mg Tablet is used to treat high blood pressure and angina (chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart). Your doctor will confirm the specific reason it has been prescribed for you.
Why are my ankles swelling since starting this medicine?
Ankle or foot swelling is a common side effect of amlodipine and other calcium channel blockers, caused by fluid shifting into the tissues. It is usually not serious, but tell your doctor if it is bothersome or severe.
Can I drink grapefruit juice while taking this medicine?
Grapefruit juice can increase amlodipine levels in the blood, so it is best to limit or avoid it while taking this medicine unless your doctor advises otherwise.
Can I stop taking this medicine if my blood pressure normalises?
No, do not stop without consulting your doctor. High blood pressure often has no symptoms, and stopping suddenly can cause your blood pressure to rise again.
