Amvasc 5Mg 30Cap

Amvasc is a medication used to treat high blood pressure and is classified as a calcium channel blocker. It works by relaxing blood vessels, which helps to reduce the pressure on the heart. It is also used in the treatment of angina.

Amvasc contains the active ingredient Amlodipine Besilate, which works by inhibiting the entry of calcium into the smooth muscle cells of blood vessels. This leads to the dilation of blood vessels, reducing vascular resistance and lowering blood pressure. It also helps improve blood flow to the heart, alleviating symptoms associated with angina. This medication is considered effective in controlling high blood pressure and improving the quality of life for patients.
