Amvasc 2.5 Mg 30Caps

Amvasc is a medication used to treat high blood pressure and chest pain resulting from angina. It belongs to a class of drugs known as calcium channel blockers, which work by relaxing blood vessels and reducing pressure on the heart.

Amvasc works by inhibiting the entry of calcium into the smooth muscle cells of blood vessels, leading to the dilation of blood vessels and reduced vascular resistance. This helps lower blood pressure and improve blood flow to the heart. It is also used in the treatment of angina, as it helps reduce the frequency of heart attacks. This medication is effective in improving the quality of life for patients with heart problems.
