What Are The Side Effects Of Pantosec And Amlokind?

Hello, You are anxious about your medication and their side effects as everyone of us should get enough knowledge about the medication we take. Amlokind AT is used for lowering blood pressure ,as with every drug, it has also some side effects. However, Amlokind AT in its therapeutic doses is well tolerated and seldom causes many side effects. Swelling, sleepiness, dizziness, headache, visual disturbance are a few common side effects of Amlokind AT. Side effects often improve as your body gets used to the medicine. However, everyone doesn t need to experience the same. I would also suggest you to seek advice of the dose u need for a better tolerance from your GP. Pantosec tablet is used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD, ulcers in the stomach and intestine). Headache, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and nausea / vomiting may occur in some individuals with the use of this medicine. Take this medicine empty stomach or with food. I would recommend to make certain lifestyle modifications like preventing excess intake of foods that cause acidity, like carbonated drinks and oily / fried food, regular exercise, and maintaining a healthy weight. All of these will certainly helps in lowering the side effects if any. As you are using pentosec once a week, I am confident to say that there will be not many side effects of this medicine on your body. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Zia Ul Haq, General & Family Physician
