Amlo Cb 5 mg Tablet contains Amlodipine (5mg). Prescription required.

Treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure), chronic stable angina, vasospastic (Prinzmetal) angina; helps reduce risk of cardiovascular events related to high BP.

Amlodipine is a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker. It relaxes and widens blood vessels by reducing calcium entry into vascular smooth muscle, lowering blood pressure and decreasing the heart’s workload, thereby relieving angina.

Do not discontinue abruptly. Seek medical help for severe swelling, fainting, chest pain worsening, or allergic reactions.
