Lodipam 10Mg 30Tab

Lodipam 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 help relax blood vessels and reduce the strain on the heart. This medication improves blood flow and reduces the workload on the heart.

Lodipam works by inhibiting the entry of calcium into the smooth muscle cells of blood vessels, leading to the relaxation of these muscles and dilation of blood vessels. This dilation reduces resistance to blood flow, helping to lower blood pressure. Additionally, it can help relieve symptoms associated with angina by improving the heart's oxygen supply. Lodipam is commonly used in managing chronic high blood pressure and angina.
