Amlovas Tablet 5 mg contains Amlodipine Besilate, a calcium channel blocker used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension) and certain types of angina (chest pain). It works by relaxing the blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily, which helps lower blood pressure and reduces the heart’s workload. Amlovas is commonly prescribed for patients with cardiovascular conditions to prevent complications such as heart attacks, strokes, and heart failure.

Amlodipine is effective for both long-term blood pressure control and prevention of angina attacks. Its once-daily dosing and slow onset of action make it convenient and well-tolerated, with minimal risk of sudden blood pressure drops. By improving blood flow and reducing arterial stiffness, Amlovas supports overall cardiovascular health.
