Introduction About AMLODAC 10MG TABLET
AMLODAC 10MG TABLET is a medication used primarily for the management of high blood pressure (hypertension) and angina (Prinzmetal’s or variant angina). The active ingredient,  , is a calcium channel blocker that helps relax blood vessels, reducing strain on the heart and lowering blood pressure and chest pain.

Uses Of AMLODAC 10MG TABLET
ABLET in Hypertension:

This medicine does not provide immediate relief of chest pain from angina.

To manage ankle swelling caused by AMLODAC 10MG TABLET, you can try the following home remedies:
- Elevate Your Legs: Elevating your feet above heart level for 15-20 minutes a few times a day can help reduce swelling by encouraging fluid to flow back into your body.
- Limit Salt Intake: Reducing salt (sodium) in your diet can prevent fluid retention, which may help control swelling. Avoid processed and salty foods.
- Exercise Regularly: Gentle exercises like walking or leg movements (e.g., ankle circles) can help stimulate blood flow and reduce swelling.
- Stay Hydrated: Drinking plenty of water helps flush excess salt and fluids from your body, which may reduce swelling.
- Avoid Prolonged Sitting or Standing: If you are sitting or standing for long periods, take breaks to move around and stretch your legs to improve circulation.
If the swelling persists or causes discomfort, consult your doctor. They may adjust your amlodipine dosage or explore other treatments to alleviate the side effect.
