Thank you for the query.
Tablet Stamlo (Amlodipine) is a calcium channel blocker and a preferred antihypertensive. I would like to know about your baseline status of your Blood pressure. If it remains around 130-140/80-90 mm of Hg or more, you may not have much problems. But if your baseline stays on the lower side, If you are symptom free you can go back to your normal drug regimen from the next morning. If you face any symptoms as mentioned above, please get atleast one BP recording done, before taking the next dose. Though in all possibilities, you shouldn't have much problem.
Hope this helps you.
