Amlozaar is a pharmaceutical-grade fixed-dose combination medication engineered for the clinical management of hypertension (high blood pressure). It combines two potent antihypertensive agents: Amlodipine, a Calcium Channel Blocker (CCB) that relaxes the muscles of your heart and blood vessels, and Losartan, an Angiotensin II Receptor Blocker (ARB) that prevents blood vessels from narrowing. This dual-action approach provides a stable clinical tool for lowering blood pressure more effectively than either medication used alone.
Active Ingredients: Amlodipine (as Besylate) / Losartan Potassium
Drug Class: Antihypertensive Combination (CCB + ARB)
Formulation: Film-Coated Tablet
Route: Oral
Pack Size: 10 or 30 Tablets (Typical)
Availability: Prescription-Only Medicine (POM) — A valid doctor's prescription is required.
Micro Labs Limited — A leading global pharmaceutical provider recognized for high-quality cardiovascular treatments and reliable chronic disease management.
Amlozaar is primarily indicated for the treatment of mild to moderate hypertension in patients whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled by Amlodipine or Losartan alone. By combining two different mechanisms of action, it reduces systemic vascular resistance and improves blood flow, significantly lowering the risk of long-term cardiovascular complications such as stroke and myocardial infarction (heart attack).
Pregnancy Warning: This medication is strictly contraindicated during pregnancy. Drugs that act on the renin-angiotensin system, like Losartan, can cause serious injury or death to the unborn baby. Consult your doctor immediately for safer alternatives if you plan to conceive.
Potassium Levels: Losartan can increase potassium levels in the blood (hyperkalemia). Your doctor may perform periodic blood tests to monitor these levels, especially if you use potassium supplements or certain salt substitutes.
Liver and Kidney Function: Use with caution if you have severe liver or kidney impairment. Always inform your doctor of your full medical history before starting Amlozaar.
Localized Swelling: Amlodipine may cause mild swelling of the ankles or feet (peripheral edema). If this becomes persistent or uncomfortable, consult your pharmacist or doctor.
Take Amlozaar exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The tablet is usually taken once daily, at the same time each day, to maintain systemic stability. You can take the tablet with or without food, swallowed whole with a glass of water. Consistency is vital for maintaining blood pressure targets; do not skip doses even if you feel well, as hypertension often has no symptoms.
Commonly reported effects include dizziness, headache, tiredness (fatigue), and swelling of the ankles or feet. Some patients may experience a "spinning" sensation (vertigo) or mild stomach upset during the initial adjustment period. Consult your doctor immediately if you experience significant swelling of the face, lips, or throat (angioedema), or signs of severe low blood pressure like fainting.
Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. To maintain molecular stability in the Nigerian climate, keep the tablets in their original blister packaging until use. Protection from high heat and humidity is essential for ensuring the active ingredients remain fully potent. Keep out of reach of children.
Q: Do I need a prescription to buy Amlozaar at Sanlive Pharmacy?
A: Yes. Amlozaar is a Prescription-Only Medicine (POM). A valid prescription from a licensed physician is mandatory for purchase to ensure appropriate dose monitoring.
Q: Can I take Amlozaar with painkillers like Ibuprofen or Naproxen?
A: You should consult your pharmacist first. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can reduce the effectiveness of Losartan and may increase the risk of kidney issues.
Q: Will Amlozaar cause a "dry cough"?
A: While Losartan is much less likely to cause a cough than ACE inhibitors, it can occur in rare cases. If you develop a persistent dry cough, discuss it with your doctor.
Q: Can I drink alcohol while taking Amlozaar?
A: Alcohol can enhance the blood-pressure-lowering effect of the medication, which may lead to excessive dizziness or fainting. It is best to avoid or strictly limit alcohol.
