Amlip 5 MG Tablet is prescribed to treat high blood pressure. It relaxes blood vessels, improving blood flow and reducing pressure, thereby lowering the risk of heart attack or stroke. Common side effects include swelling in ankles or feet, headache, dizziness, fatigue, nausea, and stomach discomfort. Most are temporary and fade over time. Avoid grapefruit juice, as it may increase side effects.

Take Amlip 5 MG Tablet with or without food, as directed by your doctor. Maintain a consistent daily schedule for optimal results. Do not stop abruptly without medical advice, as it may cause a sudden blood pressure spike. Long-term use is often required.

This medicine is not recommended for children under 6 unless prescribed. Inform your doctor about other medications, supplements, or liver conditions before use. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult a doctor before taking it.
