Hi,

Amlopin-M is a combination medication that contains amlodipine and metoprolol. Amlodipine belongs to a class of drugs known as calcium channel blockers, which relaxes blood vessels and improves blood flow, while metoprolol belongs to a class of drugs known as beta-blockers, which reduces the workload on the heart and lowers blood pressure.

Like all medications, Amlopin-M can have potential side effects. The most common side effects associated with amlodipine are dizziness, headache, fatigue, nausea, flushing, and edema. The most common side effects associated with metoprolol are fatigue, dizziness, shortness of breath, and diarrhea. Some people may experience more serious side effects such as chest pain, irregular heartbeat, and difficulty breathing. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly while taking Amlopin-M and report any unusual symptoms to your doctor. Your doctor will also monitor your blood pressure and adjust your medication as needed to ensure that it remains under control.

As for taking both Valent and Amlopin-M together, it is not uncommon for hypertension patients to be prescribed multiple medications to control their blood pressure. However, it is important to take them as directed and to inform your doctor of any changes in your condition or if you experience any adverse reactions. Your doctor may also adjust the dosage or switch to a different medication if needed.

Overall, while Amlopin-M can have potential side effects, it can also be an effective medication for controlling high blood pressure when used under medical supervision.
