Hopecard AM Tablet 10's

Hopecard AM Tablet is used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). Hypertension is a medical condition, in which the blood exerts high pressure (force exerted by circulating blood) against blood vessel's walls. This condition makes the heart work harder to pump blood into the whole body. Hypertension can cause severe health complications, including stroke, heart failure, heart attack and kidney failure.

Hopecard AM Tablet contains Amlodipine (calcium channel blocker) and Ramipril (angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor). Amlodipine is used to treat high blood pressure, Prinzmetal's or variant angina (chest pain) and other conditions caused by coronary artery disease. It relaxes blood vessels, so that blood passes through them easily, thereby lowering the blood pressure. It also improves blood supply to the heart muscle to receive more oxygen, thus preventing chest pain. Ramipril relaxes and widens the blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood throughout the body and thereby lowering blood pressure. It also decreases the body’s production of certain substances that raise blood pressure.

Your doctor will advise you how often you take Hopecard AM Tablet based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience blurred vision, sweating, confusion, tiredness, stomach upset, flushing (sense of warmth in the face, ears, neck and trunk), dizziness, headache and swelling of the ankles or feet.
