Amlodipine 5mg Tablets work by relaxing the muscles in the walls of your blood vessels, which helps to lower your blood pressure and ease chest pain.
The active ingredient Amlodipine belongs to a group of medicines called calcium antagonists, which work by relaxing the blood vessels and decreasing the amount of calcium in the heart muscle, allowing for better blood flow and less pressure on the heart.
Amlodipine 5mg is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) or a certain type of chest pain called angina, a rare form of which is Prinzmetal’s or variant angina.
In patients with high blood pressure this medicine works by relaxing blood vessels, so that blood passes through them more easily. In patients with angina Amlodipine works by improving blood supply to the heart muscle which then receives more oxygen and as a result chest pain is prevented. This medicine does not provide immediate relief of chest pain from angina.
