Uses of Amchek 2.5
Angina (heart-related chest pain) Treatment of Hypertension (high blood pressure) Arrhythmia Hypertensive emergency Subarachnoid haemorrhage Anal fissure
Benefits of Amchek 2.5
- In High blood pressure
- Amchek relaxes the muscle in the walls of your arteries so blood flows with less pressure. Keeping blood pressure down protects you from stroke, heart attack and kidney damage over the years.
- In Angina
- Amchek widens the vessels that supply the heart and eases its workload, so you get fewer episodes of chest pain and can do more before pain comes on.
How Amchek 2.5 works
Amchek 2.5mg Tablet is a calcium channel blocker. In high blood pressure, it normalizes the blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels to reduce the pressure on them, thereby improving the blood flow in the body. In heart-related chest pain (angina), the enhanced blood flow in the body relaxes the heart muscles by reducing the workload on the heart. It also improves the oxygen flow in the body, thereby, preventing any heart-related chest pain.
