Amlovas H

Hypertension (high blood pressure)

In High blood pressure

Amlovas H 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

Amlovas H 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.

In Heart failure

Amlovas H clears the fluid that collects in the lungs and legs when the heart is weak, so breathing is easier and the swelling in your ankles goes down.

In Fluid retention

Amlovas H makes you pass more urine so that trapped fluid leaves the body, relieving swelling and the heaviness and discomfort that go with it.
