Amlocard 5Mg 30Tab

Amlocard is a medication used to treat high blood pressure and chest pain caused by angina. It belongs to a class of drugs known as calcium channel blockers. It works by relaxing blood vessels, which helps reduce the pressure on the heart.

Amlocard (Amlodipine Besilate) works by inhibiting the entry of calcium into the smooth muscle cells of blood vessels, leading to relaxation of these muscles and dilation of blood vessels. This dilation reduces resistance to blood flow, helping to lower blood pressure and improve blood flow to the heart. It is also used to treat angina, as it helps reduce the frequency of heart attacks.
