Description

Amlopres 5 mg & Amlopres 10 mg Tablet

Product Overview
Amlopres Tablets are prescription medications used for the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension), angina pectoris (chest pain), coronary artery disease, and other cardiovascular conditions. They help relax and widen blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily and reducing the workload on the heart. Regular use of Amlopres helps lower blood pressure and reduces the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular complications.

Available Variants

• Amlopres 5 mg Tablet
• Amlopres 10 mg Tablet

Both variants contain Amlodipine and are prescribed based on the patient’s blood pressure levels and clinical requirements.

How It Works

Amlodipine works by blocking the entry of calcium into the smooth muscle cells of blood vessels and the heart. This causes blood vessels to relax and widen, improving blood flow and lowering blood pressure. It also helps reduce the heart’s oxygen demand, making it effective in the treatment of angina.
