Amdin
Description:
Amlodipine is a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker that inhibits the transmembrane influx of calcium ion into cardiac muscle & vascular smooth muscle. It is used for the treatment of hypertension and angina pectoris.

Composition:
Amdin-5: Each tablet contains Amlodipine besilate which is equivalent to Amlodipine BP 5 mg.

Indication/Use:
1. Hypertension : Amdin may be used alone or in combination with other antihypertensive agents in hypertension.
2. Chronic Stable Angina : Amdin may be used alone or in combination with other antianginal agents in chronic stable angina.
3. Vasospastic Angina : Amdin is indicated for the treatment of confirmed or suspected vasospastic angina. Amdin may be used as monotherapy or in combination with other antianginal drugs.

Dosage Guideline:
The usual initial antihypertensive oral dose of Amdin is 5 mg once daily with a maximum dose of 10 mg once daily. Small, fragile or elderly individuals or patient with hepatic insufficiency may be started on 2.5 mg once daily and this dose may be used when adding Amdin to other antihypertensive therapy. Dosage should be adjusted according to each patient's need. The recommended dose for chronic stable or vasospastic angina is 5-10 mg, with the lower dose suggested in the elderly and in patients with hepatic insufficiency. Most patients will require 10 mg for adequate effect. Co-administration with other Antihypertensive and/or Antianginal Drugs : Amdin has been safely administered with thiazides, ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, long-acting nitrates and/or sublingual nitroglycerin.

Use in Pregnancy & Lactation:
Pregnancy Category C: Amlodipine should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.
Nursing Mothers: It is not known whether Amlodipine is excreted in human milk. It is recommended that nursing be discontinued while Amlodipine is administered.

Over Dose:
In humans, experience with intentional overdosage of Amlodipine is limited. If massive overdose should occur, active cardiac and respiratory monitoring should be instituted. Frequent blood pressure measurements are essential.
