Amias

What is Amias?

Amias tablets are used to reduce high blood pressure by relaxing and widening the blood vessels. High blood pressure can lead to more serious health problems, such as heart attack and stroke, if left untreated. The chronic condition is more likely to affect people who consume too much salt or alcohol, are overweight or obese, have a family member with high blood pressure, or do not exercise enough. If you are in any of these at-risk categories it is important to have your blood pressure checked even though there are no obvious symptoms. Amias can help to lower blood pressure and prevent further health problems developing.

Amias contains the active ingredient candesartan cilexetil which relaxes the blood vessels to reduce high blood pressure.

The recommended dose of Amias for high blood pressure is usually 8mg a day, possibly increasing to a higher dose as recommended by your doctor depending on your blood pressure response to the initial dose.Always take Amias exactly as recommended by your doctor.

Common side effects of using Amias tablets include headache, dizziness, low blood pressure and respiratory infection.Refer to the Amias patient information leaflet for a complete list of cautions and side effects.
