Rindopril AM Tablet is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Additionally, it is also used to treat stable coronary artery disease. High blood pressure is a condition in which the blood exerts increased pressure on the walls of blood vessels. Stable coronary artery disease is a condition in which the blood supply to the heart is blocked or reduced.
 
Rindopril AM Tablet is a combination of two drugs: Amlodipine and Perindopril erbumine. Amlodipine relaxes the blood vessels, thereby improving blood flow. Perindopril erbumine widens the blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood through them. Together, Rindopril AM Tablet helps lower the blood pressure, thereby reduces the chances of heart problems such as heart attack and stroke.  
 
You are advised to take Rindopril AM Tablet for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects, such as oedema, headache, dizziness, nausea, and abdominal pain. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.
 
Rindopril AM Tablet is not recommended during early pregnancy and should not be taken when more than 3 months pregnant as it may cause serious harm to the baby. Rindopril AM Tablet is not recommended for breastfeeding mothers and children. Rindopril AM Tablet may cause dizziness, so drive with caution. Avoid consuming alcohol as it might cause increased dizziness. Inform your doctor about all the medicines you are taking and your health condition to rule out any unpleasant side effects.

Rindopril AM Tablet is a combination of two drugs: Amlodipine and Perindopril erbumine. Rindopril AM Tablet belongs to the group of anti-hypertensive medicines used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and/or stable coronary artery disease. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that relaxes the blood vessels, thereby improving blood flow. Perindopril erbumine is an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor that widens the blood vessels; this makes it easier for the heart to pump blood through them. Together, Rindopril AM Tablet helps treat hypertension, thereby reducing the chances of heart problems such as heart attack and stroke.

High blood pressure (hypertension): It is a condition in which the blood exerts increased pressure on the walls of blood vessels, leading to hypertension. This condition can lead to hardened arteries (blood vessels), decreasing the blood and oxygen flow to the heart. Raised blood pressure can cause chest pain (angina) and heart attack (when the blood supply to the heart is blocked). High blood pressure also causes brain damage (stroke) and kidney failure. Symptoms of high blood pressure include headache, dizziness, nose bleed, changes in vision, chest pain, weakness and dyspnoea (shortness of breath). However, most of the time, the signs and symptoms of hypertension are none.

Stable coronary artery disease: It is a condition in which the blood supply to the heart is blocked or reduced. Atherosclerosis (build-up of plaque in the arteries) is the main cause of stable coronary artery disease.
