Composition of Espin-5
Espin-5 contains S-Amlodipine (5mg). It belongs to the Calcium channel blocker class of medicines.
Uses of Espin-5
Angina (heart-related chest pain) Treatment of Hypertension (high blood pressure) Prevention of Stroke
Benefits of Espin-5
- In High blood pressure
- Espin-5 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
- Espin-5 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 Espin-5 works
Espin 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. The enhanced blood flow in the body further 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.
