Amace Tablet is a combination medication used primarily for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure). This tablet contains two active ingredients: Amlodipine (5mg) and Enalapril (5mg), which work together to control blood pressure when a single medication is insufficient. Amace Tablet helps reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular complications caused by high blood pressure.

This medication should be taken regularly as prescribed by your doctor. It can be taken with or without food and at any time of the day. However, it is best to take it at the same time every day for maximum effectiveness. Continue using it for as long as advised by your doctor, even if you feel well. Stopping the medication without consulting your doctor may worsen your condition as high blood pressure often shows no symptoms.
