Myodura 2.5 MG Tablet 7 is used for:

Lowering high blood pressure, also known as hypertension
Reducing the likelihood of severe cardiovascular incidents like strokes and heart attacks
Preventing chronic stable angina, a type of chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart
Managing vasospastic angina, often termed Prinz metal's or variant angina, is a rare form of angina where chest pain occurs at rest

Abdominal pain
Edema
Somnolence: You might feel unusually drowsy or sleepy after taking this medicine.
Flushing: Your skin might turn red and feel hot for a short time.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve upon discontinuing the use of Myodura 2.5 MG Tablet 7. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Edema: If you notice swelling in your ankles, feet, or hands, try taking Myodura 2.5 MG Tablet 7 at night.
Somnolence: To manage drowsiness caused by this medicine, consider taking it before bedtime.

Myodura 2.5 MG Tablet 7 contains Amlodipine (2.5 mg), which acts on your body in two main ways:

Reduces Intracellular Calcium: Amlodipine inhibits the entry of calcium ions into muscle cells in your blood vessels and heart, reducing calcium levels within these cells.
Causes Vasodilation: The reduced calcium causes relaxation or widening of blood vessels, which is termed peripheral vasodilation. This leads to decreased resistance in these vessels, ultimately lowering blood pressure. In patients with angina, this lessens the workload on the heart, reducing its need for oxygen and preventing chest pain.
