What are the serious side effects of Amlozaar-H Tablet I should watch for?

What's the best time to take Amlozaar-H Tablet?
The best time to take Amlozaar-H Tablet should be based on your doctor's recommendation. However, it is commonly taken in the morning, with or without food. Taking it in the morning may help reduce the risk of nighttime urination, which can disturb sleep.
What should I avoid while taking Amlozaar-H Tablet?
While on Amlozaar-H Tablet, you should avoid consuming alcohol, as it may cause your blood pressure to drop too low. It is also advisable to limit intake of salt and potassium-rich foods or supplements unless specifically directed by your doctor.

Why might I feel dizzy or lightheaded when I start Amlozaar-H Tablet?

How should I monitor my blood pressure?
You should check your BP at home 2-3 times weekly and keep a record to show it to your doctor. Ideally, take readings in the morning before taking your medication and again in the evening for the most accurate tracking.
Can Amlozaar-H Tablet affect my exercise routine?
