1. What is AMLODIPINO BD-MABO and what is it used for

Amlodipino BD-Mabo contains the active substance amlodipine which belongs to a group of medicines known as calcium antagonists.

Amlodipino BD-Mabo is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) or a certain type of chest pain called angina, which includes a less common type known as Prinzmetal's angina or variant angina.

In patients with high blood pressure, this medicine works by relaxing blood vessels, allowing blood to flow through them more easily. In patients with angina, Amlodipino BD-Mabo improves blood flow to the heart muscle, which receives more oxygen as a result, and as a consequence, chest pain is prevented. This medicine does not provide immediate relief from chest pain due to angina.

2. BEFORE TAKING AMLODIPINE BD-MABO

Do not take Amlodipino BD-MABO

  • If you are allergic (hypersensitive) to amlodipine, or any of the other components of the medication listed in section 6, or to any other calcium antagonist. This may cause itching, skin redness, or difficulty breathing.
  • If you have very low blood pressure (hypotension).
  • If you have a narrowing of the aortic valve (aortic stenosis) in your heart or cardiogenic shock (a disease in which the heart is unable to pump enough blood to the body).
  • If you suffer from heart failure after a heart attack.

Be especially careful with Amlodipino BD-MABO

  • You must inform your doctor if you have or have had any of the following conditions:
  • Recent heart attack
  • Heart failure
  • Severe high blood pressure (hypertensive crisis)
  • Liver disease
  • You are an elderly person and your dose needs to be increased

Use in children and adolescents

Amlodipino BD-Mabo has not been studied in children under 6 years of age. Amlodipino BD-Mabo should only be used to treat high blood pressure in children and adolescents aged 6 to 17 years. (See section 3).

For more information, consult your doctor.

Use of other medications

Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are using or have recently used other medications, including those purchased without a prescription.

Amlodipino BD-Mabo may affect or be affected by other medications, such as:

  • ketoconazole, itraconazole (antifungal medications)
  • ritonavir, indinavir, nelfinavir (also known as protease inhibitors used to treat HIV/AIDS)
  • rifampicin, erythromycin, clarithromycin (antibiotics)
  • Hypericum perforatum(St. John's Wort)
  • verapamil, diltiazem (heart medications)
  • dantrolene (in infusion for severe body temperature abnormalities)

If you are already taking other medications to treat high blood pressure, Amlodipino BD-Mabo may lower your blood pressure even further.

Taking Amlodipino BD-MABO with food and drinks

People taking Amlodipino BD-Mabo should not consume grapefruit or grapefruit juice. This is because grapefruit and grapefruit juice may cause an increase in the blood levels of the active ingredient amlodipine, which may lead to an unpredictable increase in the effect of lowering blood pressure of Amlodipino BD-Mabo.

Pregnancy

The safety of amlodipine during pregnancy has not been established. If you think you may be pregnant, or are planning to become pregnant, you must inform your doctor before taking Amlodipino BD-Mabo.

Use in children and adolescents

For children and adolescents (between 6-17 years of age), the usual recommended initial dose is 2.5 mg per day. The maximum recommended dose is 5mg per day.

Amlodipino 2.5 mg is currently not available and the 2.5 mg dose cannot be obtained with the Amlodipino BD-Mabo 5 mg tablets as these tablets are not manufactured to be divided into equal parts.

It is essential not to interrupt the administration of the tablets. Do not wait for the tablets to run out before consulting your doctor.

If you take more Amlodipino BD-MABO than you should

Consuming too many tablets can cause a drop in blood pressure or even a dangerous drop. You may feel dizzy, disoriented, experience postural dizziness when standing up, or weakness. If the drop in blood pressure is severe enough, it can cause shock. You may feel your skin is cold and moist and could lose consciousness.

Excess fluid can accumulate in the lungs (pulmonary edema) causing difficulty breathing that can develop up to 24-48 hours after consumption.

If you take too many Amlodipino BD-Mabo tablets, consult your doctor immediately or call the Toxicological Information Service, phone 91 562 04 20.

If you forget to take Amlodipino BD-MABO

Do not worry. If you forget to take a tablet, do not take that dose. Take the next dose at the correct time. Do not take a double dose to compensate for the missed dose.

If you interrupt treatment with Amlodipino BD-MABO
