Amlodipine 5 mg
Treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure), management of angina pectoris (chronic stable angina) and vasospastic (Prinzmetal) angina
Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that relaxes blood vessels by inhibiting calcium entry into vascular smooth muscle. This lowers blood pressure and reduces the workload on the heart, improving blood flow and relieving angina.
Take as advised by your doctor, usually once daily at the same time each day. Can be taken with or without food; swallow the tablet with water. Do not stop suddenly without medical advice.
