Remember, by keeping your blood pressure controlled you are reducing your risk of having a heart attack or stroke.

What happens if I forget to take Amlopres TL Tablet?

If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is close to the time of your next dose, skip the missed one and take the next scheduled dose. Do not take a double dose to make up for the one you missed. If you often forget doses, it may help to set an alarm to remind you. If not sure then you can consult your doctor for other ways to help you remember.

Is it safe to take Amlopres TL Tablet for a long time?

Amlopres TL Tablet is generally safe to take for a long time. Remember to follow your doctor's advice/instructions.

How long will I be taking Amlopres TL Tablet for?

What if Amlopres TL Tablet doesn’t make me feel any better?

High blood pressure does not usually have any symptoms, so you may not feel ill if there is any change in the blood pressure. Therefore, this medicine may not make you feel “better”. This does not mean that you can stop the medicine as they are working in the background to reduce your risk of serious illness.

Can Amlopres TL Tablet affect my fertility or sex life?

Lifestyle changes play a major role in keeping you healthy if you are taking Amlopres TL Tablet. Avoid taking excess salt in your diet and find ways to reduce or manage stress in your life. Practice yoga or meditation or take up a hobby. Ensure that you have a sound sleep every night as this also helps to reduce stress levels and helps to keep your blood pressure normal. Stop smoking and alcohol consumption as this helps in lowering your blood pressure and preventing heart problems. Exercise regularly and take a balanced diet that includes whole grains, fresh fruits, vegetables and fat-free products. Consult your doctor if you need any further guidance to get the maximum benefit of Amlopres TL Tablet and to keep yourself healthy.
