About this product
Overview
QUVASC 5MG TABLET contains Amlodipine Besylate as its active ingredient. Amlodipine belongs to the class of medications known as calcium channel blockers. It is commonly prescribed for the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension) and certain types of chest pain (angina). Amlodipine works by relaxing the blood vessels, thereby improving blood flow and reducing blood pressure.
Uses
QUVASC 5MG TABLET is primarily used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). By relaxing the blood vessels, Amlodipine helps to lower blood pressure and reduce the workload on the heart. It may also be prescribed to alleviate symptoms of angina (chest pain) by improving blood flow to the heart muscle. Amlodipine may be used alone or in combination with other antihypertensive medications.
Administration
QUVASC 5MG TABLET is taken orally, usually once daily, with or without food, as directed by the healthcare provider. The dosage regimen is determined based on the patient’s medical condition and response to treatment. It is essential to follow the prescribed dosage and not exceed the recommended maximum daily dose to minimize the risk of side effects.
Side Effects
Common side effects of QUVASC 5MG TABLET may include peripheral edema (swelling of the ankles or feet), headache, dizziness, flushing, fatigue, and abdominal pain. It may also cause more serious side effects such as hypotension (low blood pressure), palpitations, or allergic reactions. Patients should promptly report any adverse reactions to their healthcare provider.
Precautions
Before using QUVASC 5MG TABLET, inform your healthcare provider about any pre-existing medical conditions, allergies, or medications you are currently taking. Special precautions may be necessary for individuals with liver disease, heart failure, or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Close monitoring of blood pressure and heart function is essential during treatment.

QUVASC 5MG TABLET should not be used in patients with a known hypersensitivity to Amlodipine or any of the components of the formulation. It should also be avoided in patients with severe hypotension (low blood pressure) or significant aortic stenosis (narrowing of the aortic valve).
