Product Overview

Aimix Combination Tablets LD is a Japanese-manufactured antihypertensive medicine combining Irbesartan 100 mg (an angiotensin II receptor blocker, ARB) with Amlodipine 5 mg (a long-acting calcium channel blocker) in one convenient daily tablet. This lower-dose formulation is ideal for patients who need effective blood pressure control but may not require the higher dose of amlodipine found in Aimix HD. It offers the benefits of dual therapy in hypertension management – similar in concept to popular combinations like telmisartan and hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) – by using an ARB akin to telmisartan paired with a calcium channel blocker instead of a diuretic.

By targeting blood pressure from two angles (relaxing blood vessels and blocking the hormone that causes constriction), Aimix LD helps achieve steady 24-hour blood pressure reduction, thereby contributing to the prevention of strokes, heart attacks, and other hypertension-related complications. Produced in Japan under strict quality standards, Aimix LD is trusted for its consistent efficacy and safety profile, providing peace of mind for those starting or adjusting their blood pressure therapy.

Dosage Guidelines

• Standard Dose: Take one Aimix LD tablet (100/5 mg) once daily, or as prescribed by your doctor.
• Routine: Swallow the tablet with water at the same time each day to maintain consistent blood pressure control.
• Meals: You can take Aimix LD with or without food, according to your preference or doctor’s advice.
• Avoid Grapefruit: Do not eat grapefruit or drink grapefruit juice while using this medicine, as it can increase the medication’s effects.
• Follow Medical Advice: Continue taking Aimix LD exactly as directed by your healthcare provider, even if you feel well. Do not stop without consultation.

Possible Side Effects

• Lightheadedness or dizziness (due to lowered blood pressure)
• Headache
• Facial flushing (warmth or redness in the face)
• Mild swelling in ankles or feet
• Fatigue
• Rare but serious: significant dizziness/fainting or allergic reactions (swelling of face/lips, difficulty breathing)

Note: Aimix LD’s lower amlodipine dose is generally well-tolerated. Side effects like flushing or ankle swelling tend to be less frequent or severe compared to higher-dose combinations, but individual reactions can vary. If you experience any persistent or worrisome side effects, contact your physician.

FAQ

Q: What if I forget to take a dose?
A: If you miss your scheduled dose of Aimix LD, take it as soon as you remember on the same day. If you only recall the missed dose the next day, skip it and resume your normal once-daily schedule. Do not take an extra tablet to compensate for the missed one. To avoid missed doses, try taking your tablet at the same time each day and consider using a pill reminder or alarm.

Q: How is Aimix LD different from Aimix HD?
A: Aimix LD and Aimix HD are identical in terms of their ARB content, both providing 100 mg of Irbesartan per tablet. The difference lies in the amount of amlodipine: LD contains 5 mg, while HD contains 10 mg. Aimix LD is thus a lower-strength option, often used when moderate blood pressure control is sufficient or when a patient is starting combination therapy. Aimix HD, with twice the amlodipine, may be prescribed if stronger blood pressure reduction is needed. Your healthcare provider will determine which strength is appropriate based on your blood pressure readings and response to treatment.

Q: Is Aimix LD the same as a telmisartan/HCTZ combo therapy?
A: Not exactly. Aimix LD is a combination of an ARB (Irbesartan) with a calcium channel blocker (Amlodipine), whereas telmisartan/HCTZ pairs an ARB (Telmisartan) with a thiazide diuretic (Hydrochlorothiazide). Both regimen types aim to lower blood pressure effectively, but through different complementary mechanisms. Telmisartan/HCTZ helps reduce fluid retention to lower blood pressure, while Aimix’s ARB/CCB approach focuses on relaxing blood vessels. Some patients who do not tolerate diuretics or have specific needs might use Aimix as an alternative to an ARB-diuretic combo. It’s important to consult with a doctor to determine which combination therapy is best for you.
