Amlovas Tablet 10 mg contains Amlodipine Besilate, a potent calcium channel blocker used for the management of hypertension (high blood pressure) and angina (chest pain). By relaxing the smooth muscles of blood vessels, it lowers peripheral vascular resistance, improves blood flow, and reduces the heart’s workload. Amlovas is particularly effective in preventing angina attacks and protecting against cardiovascular complications such as heart attack and stroke.

This higher-strength 10 mg formulation is usually prescribed for patients whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled with a lower dose or for those requiring more intensive management of angina. Its long-acting properties allow once-daily dosing, promoting better patient compliance and steady therapeutic effects.

Key Benefits

• Effectively lowers high blood pressure
• Reduces frequency and severity of angina attacks
• Improves blood circulation and oxygen supply to the heart
