Anolin (Amlodipine 10mg+Chlorthalidone 12.5mg) Tablets
Anolin is a once-daily combination tablet that brings together two proven blood pressure medicines — amlodipine (a calcium channel blocker) and chlorthalidone (a diuretic, or water tablet) — into a single convenient dose. Together, they work in two different ways to lower blood pressure more effectively than either medicine alone, helping to reduce your risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney damage.
Brand name : Anolin
Ingredient 1 : Amlodipine 10mg
Ingredient 2 : Chlorthalidone 12.5mg
Requires prescription : Yes
How do the two ingredients work?
Amlodipine 10mg
Calcium channel blocker
Relaxes and widens blood vessels so blood flows through more easily, reducing the pressure on your artery walls.
Chlorthalidone 12.5mg
Thiazide-like diuretic (water tablet)
Helps your kidneys remove excess salt and water from the body, reducing the volume of fluid in your blood vessels.
Together, these two mechanisms complement each other — targeting blood pressure from two different angles for stronger, more consistent control throughout the day.
Who is Anolin prescribed for?
Uncontrolled high blood pressure (hypertension)
Adults whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled on a single medicine alone and requires a combined approach.
Patients already on both medicines separately
Anolin simplifies treatment by replacing two separate tablets with one, improving convenience and reducing the risk of missed doses.
High cardiovascular risk patients
People at elevated risk of stroke, heart attack, or kidney disease where tighter blood pressure control is a clinical priority.
Dosage & how to take
| Dose | One tablet once daily |
| When to take | Same time each day, preferably in the morning |
| With or without food | Either is fine — take with a full glass of water |
| Why morning is preferred | The diuretic effect of chlorthalidone means you may urinate more — taking it in the morning avoids disrupting sleep |
| Missed dose | Take as soon as you remember; skip if it is nearly time for your next dose |
Do not stop taking Anolin suddenly without your doctor's advice — blood pressure may rise quickly, increasing the risk of serious complications.

Key things to know before buying
Common side effects
Most side effects are mild and tend to improve as your body adjusts. Contact your doctor if you experience muscle cramps, unusual thirst, or feel very lightheaded — these may indicate low electrolyte levels.
