Cab Tablet contains Amlodipine Besilate 5 mg, a calcium channel blocker used to manage hypertension (high blood pressure) and angina pectoris (chest pain). It works by relaxing the blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily and reducing the workload on the heart.

Amlodipine is widely prescribed for long-term control of blood pressure and for the prevention of angina attacks. It helps improve overall cardiovascular health and reduces the risk of complications such as stroke, heart attack, and heart failure.
