Amlodipine Oubari 5 mg contains Amlodipine a calcium channel blocker used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and chronic stable angina or vasospastic angina.
 It works by affecting the movement of calcium into the cells of the heart and blood vessels. This relaxes the blood vessels and lowers blood pressure, and increases the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart while reducing its workload.

 

Each tablet Amlodipine Oubari 5 mg Amlodipine 5 mg.
 

Adults:
Amlodipine Oubari 5 mg may be used alone or in combination with other antihypertensive and antianginal agents for the treatment of:
Hypertension:
Hypertension or high blood pressure comes from blood pushing too hard against your blood vessels. Amlodipine Oubari 5 mg relaxes your blood vessels, which lets your blood flow more easily and helps lower your blood pressure. Drugs that lower blood pressure lower your risk of having a stroke or heart attack.

Coronary Artery Disease: 
Coronary artery disease is classified as following:
•    Chronic Stable Angina
•    Vasospastic Angina (Prinzmetal’s or Variant Angina)
•    Angiographically Documented CAD (without heart failure or an ejection fraction <40%)
Angina is a pain or discomfort that keeps coming back when part of your heart does not get enough blood. Angina feels like a pressing or squeezing pain, usually in your chest under the breastbone. Sometimes you can feel it in your shoulders, arms, neck, jaws, or back. 

Amlodipine Oubari 5 mg is indicated to reduce the risk of hospitalization due to angina and to reduce the risk of a coronary revascularization procedure.

Children and adolescents
Amlodipine was approved for pediatric hypertension by the United States FDA in 2004.

Pregnancy& breast-feeding 
If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.

Pregnancy Category C
There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Amlodipine should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.

 

•    Adults and Children 12 years and over
The usual initial antihypertensive oral dose Amlodinine Oubari 5 mg is a tablet of 5 mg once daily with a maximum dose of 10 mg (2 tablets) once daily. 

 Adjust dosage according to each patient’s need. In general, titration should proceed over 7 to 14 days so that the physician can fully assess the patient’s response to each dose level. Titration may proceed more rapidly, however, if clinically warranted, provided the patient is assessed frequently.

The recommended dose for chronic stable or vasospastic angina is 5–10 mg, with the lower dose suggested in the elderly and in patients with hepatic insufficiency. Most patients will require 10 mg for adequate effect.

The recommended dose range for patients with coronary artery disease is 5–10 mg once daily. In clinical studies, the majority of patients required 10 mg.

•    Children
The effective antihypertensive oral dose in pediatric patients ages 6–17 years is 2.5 mg to 5 mg once daily. Doses in excess of 5 mg daily have not been studied in pediatric patients.
