Description
Amlip 10 Tablet is a cardiovascular medicine manufactured by Cipla Ltd, containing Amlodipine (10mg) as its active ingredient. It belongs to the class of calcium channel blockers (CCBs) and is primarily used in the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) and angina pectoris (chest pain due to reduced blood flow to the heart).
How it Works:
Amlodipine relaxes the blood vessel walls by blocking calcium channels in the smooth muscles. This action helps lower blood pressure, reduces the workload on the heart, improves blood and oxygen supply to the cardiac muscles, and prevents complications such as heart attack, stroke, and kidney damage.
