Lotense 5Mg 30Cap

Lotense 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. This medication helps reduce the risk of cardiovascular problems.

Lotense works by inhibiting the entry of calcium into the smooth muscle cells of blood vessels, leading to their relaxation and dilation. This dilation reduces resistance to blood flow, helping to lower blood pressure. Additionally, it contributes to improving the heart's oxygen supply, reducing pain from angina. Lotense is effectively used in managing cases of high blood pressure and stable angina.
