Yes, Vamlo contains the active ingredient Amlodipine and it can cause stomach pain/abdominal pain in some people as a side effect. Aplaket contains the active ingredient Ticlopidine, this is actually used to help prevent blood clotting, so it isn't used to the same medical conditions as the Vamlo. What are you taking it to treat? Learn more Aplaket details here. ## vamlo was prescribed for diabetic to prevent heart attack, due to abdorminal pain, aplaket was then used to replace vamlo

I am 50, been taking vamlo 5mg for the last 2 years..I tried not to take daily due to avoid any side effect. I took every 2 days..if I missed then the blood pressure will rise. I experience no other side effect. For how long should I depend on this tablet? Because I do not want to take this for life!

I have been taking Glucovance 500mg/2.5 mg (Metformin Hydrochloride/Glibenclamide) for my DM for years. Recently, I was prescribed Vamlo 5mg (Amlidopine) for my hypertension. My question is: Can these two medications to be taken together? Upon taking Vamlo 5mg, I experienced Palpations, cough, sleepless and sweating at night. I am yet to see the doctor. Please recommend me an optional medication that pharmacies carry.

what is the side effects of taking Vamlo 5mg, Doctor has advised to replace Vamlo with Aplaket 250mg, as the previous causes abdorminal pain ## HI, Khor! Vamlo contains the active ingredient Amlodipine and yes, it can cause abdominal pain in some people that take it. Aplaket contains the active ingredient Ticlopidine, it's used to help prevent blood clotting, so it doesn't serve the same purpose as the Vamlo. Are you certain that's the one your doctor said to take? What are you taking it to treat? ## Doctor replaces vamlo with aplaket, stating that vamlo can cause abdominal pain. So I thought they serves the same purpose

Why is it so expensive? $1600 for a months supply is a little high. ## A little high? I think that's way more than a little high, in my opinion. However, this is an information only website and is not affiliated with any manufacturers, so I don't have an answer as to why the price is so high. Learn more Vanos details here.
