Vascodipine 5Mg 30Tab

Vascodipine is a medication used to treat high blood pressure, belonging to the class of calcium channel blockers. It works by relaxing blood vessels, which helps reduce the pressure on the heart. It is also used in cases of angina to improve blood flow to the heart.

Vascodipine works by inhibiting the entry of calcium ions into the smooth muscle cells of blood vessels, leading to the relaxation of these muscles and the dilation of the vessels. This dilation reduces vascular resistance, contributing to lower blood pressure. Additionally, it helps improve blood flow to the heart, reducing symptoms associated with angina. Vascodipine is considered an effective option for patients suffering from high blood pressure or angina.
