Amlong-H Tablet

Description

Main Uses
Amlong-H Tablet is mainly prescribed to:

• Control high blood pressure (hypertension)

• Reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke

• Prevent fluid retention (edema) caused by high blood pressure

This combination medicine helps relax blood vessels and remove excess salt and water from the body, keeping your blood pressure under control and protecting the heart.

How It Works:

• Amlodipine – a calcium channel blocker that relaxes and widens blood vessels, improving blood flow and lowering blood pressure.

• Hydrochlorothiazide – a diuretic (water pill) that helps remove extra salt and water through urine, reducing fluid buildup and swelling.

Together, they make it easier for the heart to pump blood and maintain stable blood pressure.
