Amlocard Tablet 10 mg contains Amlodipine Besilate, a potent calcium channel blocker used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension) and heart-related conditions such as angina. By relaxing the blood vessels and improving blood flow, Amlocard helps reduce the heart's workload, supporting better cardiovascular health and lowering the risk of complications like heart attacks, strokes, and kidney damage.

Amlocard 10 mg is typically prescribed for patients who require a higher dose for effective blood pressure control or angina relief. It is effective both as a standalone therapy and in combination with other antihypertensive medications.

How It Works

Amlodipine Besilate works by blocking calcium ions from entering the muscle cells of the heart and blood vessels. This action results in:

• Relaxation and dilation of blood vessels

• Reduced resistance in peripheral arteries, lowering blood pressure

• Improved blood flow to the heart muscles

• Decreased cardiac workload and oxygen demand

This mechanism makes Amlocard 10 mg effective for managing hypertension and preventing angina episodes.
