Description
Amlip 5 Tablet is a widely prescribed medicine by Cipla Ltd, containing Amlodipine (5mg) as its active ingredient. It belongs to the class of calcium channel blockers (CCBs) and is primarily used for the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension) and chest pain (angina pectoris).

Amlodipine works by relaxing the smooth muscles of the blood vessels, allowing them to widen. This reduces resistance to blood flow, lowers blood pressure, improves oxygen supply to the heart muscles, and decreases the risk of complications like heart attack, stroke, and kidney damage.
