Overview Doltan AM 40mg/5mg Tablet

Amlodipine/Atenolol 40mg/5mg tablets combine two medications to effectively manage hypertension. This dual action reduces the long-term risk of stroke and heart attack. These tablets can be taken with or without food, but consistent daily dosing, as directed by your physician, is crucial. Dosage is personalized and should continue even if you feel well, as sustained blood pressure control is vital. Discontinue only under your doctor's guidance. Lifestyle modifications, such as increased physical activity, smoking cessation, and a low-sodium, low-fat diet, enhance the medication's effectiveness. Common side effects include ankle or foot swelling, drowsiness, lightheadedness, headache, altered taste, nausea, and fatigue. Avoid driving or activities requiring alertness until you understand the medication's impact. Report any persistent or bothersome side effects to your doctor. Prior to commencing treatment, inform your doctor of any kidney or liver issues, or severe dehydration. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals require medical consultation before use. Regular blood pressure monitoring and potential kidney function tests will be conducted during treatment.
