STAMLO 10 TAB 30 S

About

STAMLO 10 TAB contains Amlodipine 10 mg, a higher-dose formulation of a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker, indicated for the effective management of moderate to severe hypertension and chronic stable or vasospastic angina. It exerts its therapeutic effects by causing peripheral arterial vasodilation, which reduces peripheral vascular resistance and consequently lowers blood pressure. In angina, it improves myocardial oxygen supply by dilating coronary arteries and reduces oxygen demand by decreasing afterload. This dose is typically used when lower doses have not achieved adequate blood pressure control or symptom relief.

The sustained action of amlodipine allows for once-daily administration, providing consistent therapeutic benefits throughout the 24-hour dosing interval. It is a potent agent for patients requiring more aggressive blood pressure lowering or more robust angina management. Close monitoring for efficacy and potential dose-related side effects, such as peripheral edema, is important during treatment.

Uses

• Treatment of moderate to severe essential hypertension.
• Management of chronic stable angina.
• Treatment of vasospastic angina (Prinzmetal's angina).
• When lower doses of amlodipine are insufficient.
