MoreLowrac 5Mg 28 Cap
Lowrac is a medication used to treat high blood pressure and is classified as a calcium channel blocker. It works by dilating blood vessels, which facilitates blood flow and reduces pressure on the heart. It is also used in the treatment of angina to improve blood flow to the heart.
Lowrac works by inhibiting the entry of calcium into the smooth muscle cells of blood vessels, leading to relaxation of these muscles and dilation of the vessels. This effect helps to reduce vascular resistance, resulting in lower blood pressure. It also improves blood flow to the heart, reducing symptoms associated with angina. This medication is considered effective in controlling high blood pressure and improving the quality of life for patients.
