Uses of Samlokind-2.5

  • Hypertension (high blood pressure)
  • Chronic stable angina (chest pain)
  • Vasospastic (Prinzmetal’s) angina

Benefits of Samlokind-2.5

In High blood pressure
Samlokind-2.5 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
Samlokind-2.5 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 Samlokind-2.5 works

Amlodipine is a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker. It relaxes blood vessels by inhibiting calcium entry into vascular smooth muscle, lowering blood pressure and reducing the heart’s oxygen demand to help prevent angina.
