Concor AM 5 Tablet
Prescription Required
Product introduction
Concor AM 5 Tablet is used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). This is a combination of two medicines that control blood pressure when a single medication is not effective. It helps to lower high blood pressure and thus reduces the chances of future heart attack and stroke.
You can take Concor AM 5 Tablet at any time of day, with or without food, but it is best to take it at the same time each day. Continue taking it for as long as your doctor advises. Even if you feel well, do not stop this medicine on your own, as high blood pressure often has no symptoms. Stopping it may worsen your condition. Alongside medication, maintaining a healthy lifestyle—such as regular exercise, weight management, and a balanced diet—can help control blood pressure. Always follow your doctor’s advice while taking this medicine.
Concor AM 5 Tablet may cause side effects such as headache, ankle swelling, slow heart rate, nausea, coldness or numbness in the extremities, hypotension, and dizziness. Avoid driving or activities requiring mental focus until you know how this medicine affects you. It may also increase potassium levels in the blood, so avoid potassium-rich foods or supplements unless advised by your doctor. Regular monitoring of blood pressure, kidney function, and electrolyte levels may be required during treatment.
Before taking Concor AM 5 Tablet, inform your doctor if you have any liver or kidney problems. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also consult their doctor before using this medicine. Additionally, let your doctor know about any other medications you are taking, especially those for high blood pressure or heart conditions.
Uses of Concor AM Tablet
Benefits of Concor AM Tablet
In Treatment of Hypertension (high blood pressure)
Concor AM 5 Tablet relaxes the blood vessels so that blood can flow more easily around your body. It also blocks the effects of some chemicals on your heart and blood vessels. This slows down your heart rate and helps the heart beat with less force. As a result, your blood pressure is lowered, and this helps in reducing your risk of having a stroke, a heart attack, other heart problems, or kidney problems in the future. This medicine needs to be taken regularly to be effective, so keep taking it even if you feel well. Do not stop without talking to your doctor.
