Amvasc 10Mg 30Cap

Amvasc 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, which work by relaxing blood vessels and improving blood flow.

Amvasc works by inhibiting the entry of calcium ions into the smooth muscle cells of blood vessels, leading to the relaxation of these muscles and dilation of the vessels. This dilation reduces vascular resistance, helping to lower blood pressure. Additionally, it helps relieve chest pain caused by angina by improving blood flow to the heart.
