Hello.
Thanks for your query.
I shall address your concern based on your current given information.
I understand you need help with your Amlodipine prescription.
1. Yes, now only a combination of Amlodipine with Atenolol is available with Cipla.
2. Amlogard also contains Amlodipine. Check if it is the same 10 mg dosage.
3. Amlodipine causes hair loss in 0.56% of users till date.
I hope I have answered your concern on a broad sense now.
I will be available for follow up queries if any.
Regards,

thanks for the reply...so if i have amlogard am i lacking anything from what cipla has to cure doc....As i see you mentioned cipla is a combination of amlodipine and atenolol does amlogard also have atenolol.....if not,Please suggest me an alternative...thank you
Hi,
Thanks for the follow up.
No. As i said Cipla is currently marketing that combination only.
But, as you have been prescribed only Amlodipine and not Atenolol, Amlogard is OK.
Wishing you good health.
