Description
Amlod 5 mg Tablet contains Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker used to manage high blood pressure and certain types of chest pain.
Main Uses
- Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): Lowers blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels, reducing the heart’s workload, and decreasing the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
- Angina (Chest Pain): Improves blood flow to the heart muscle, preventing chest pain episodes.
How It Works
Amlodipine inhibits calcium ions from entering vascular smooth muscle and cardiac muscle cells, leading to vasodilation and decreased blood pressure.
