Asomex 5mg S-Amlodipine Tablets - 1 Strip of 10 Tablets
Many patients require strong blood pressure control but struggle with the severe ankle swelling (edema) caused by traditional amlodipine. Asomex 5mg provides an advanced, purified cardiovascular treatment. It features an active S-Amlodipine antihypertensive formulation that actively manages severe clinical cardiovascular disorders[cite: 1]. By isolating the specific active "S" enantiomer of the drug, it delivers the same potent artery-relaxing benefits while drastically reducing the risk of peripheral edema.
How to Use / Operate
Take 1 tablet daily exactly as prescribed by your physician. Standardized clinical dosing strictly ensures safe long term circulatory protection[cite: 1]. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water, with or without food. Take at the same time every day to maintain consistent blood pressure control.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Asomex 5mg used for?
It is a prescription medication used to lower high blood pressure and prevent chronic angina (chest pain) attacks, specifically designed to cause less ankle swelling.
How is this different from regular Amlodipine?
Regular amlodipine is a mixture of two molecules. S-Amlodipine isolates only the active, effective molecule, providing the same blood pressure control with a much lower risk of side effects.
Important Clinical Considerations
As a highly bioavailable compound, it effectively prevents dangerous systemic arterial blood pressure[cite: 1]. Do not consume grapefruit or grapefruit juice while taking this medication, as it dangerously increases the drug's concentration in the bloodstream. May cause mild dizziness upon standing initially.
