CVnor Tablet 10 mg contains Amlodipine Besilate, a long-acting calcium channel blocker used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and chest pain (angina). By relaxing and widening blood vessels, it improves blood flow and reduces the heart’s workload. This higher-strength formulation is typically prescribed when lower doses are insufficient to achieve optimal blood pressure control.
