What Are The Long Term Side Effects Of Amlopres AT 25?

Dear Doctor, I take one tablet of Amlopres AT 25 daily to keep control of my blood pressure . I am taking this medicine daily sometimes half a tablet and sometiimes one tablet. Now it is under control. My pressure is 150/ 95 earlier; after taking this medicine, it is under control. When I take half a tablet, it becomes 130/85. If I continue to take one tablet, it becomes 110/70. What are the side effects of this medicine after the long usage of the same.

The common side effects are headache, low blood pressure, dizziness, breathlessness, fatigue, muscle cramps, low heart rate, palpitations, flushing, leg swelling due to edema, dyspepsia, cold extremities. Medicine dose is important for controlling blood pressure. It will not cause any specific side effect on long term use. You have to take medicine mostly for life-long unless it remains under normal range without treatment. Do not alter dose yourself unless suggested by your doctor. Altering dose or taking lesser doses will cause fluctuation in your BP which is not good. It is better to keep your BP in range of 110-130/70-90 mmHg. It should not go beyond 130/90 mmHg.
Advice
1.     Amlopress AT 25 once daily per oral
2.     Regularly measure your BP
3.     Do not alter dose yourself unless suggested by your doctor
4.     Exercise – start workout in gym at least for half an hour for 4 – 5 days in a week regularly. Start with a balanced mix of cardio, weight training and flexibility exercises. It will help in controlling BP and maintaining your body weight
5.     Consume less fat diet
6.     Drink 3 – 4 liters of water daily
7.     Avoid excess intake coffee
8.     Investigation – lipid profile
Thanks
