CVnor Tablet 5 mg contains Amlodipine Besilate, a widely used calcium channel blocker that helps manage high blood pressure (hypertension) and certain types of chest pain (angina). It works by relaxing blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily and reducing the workload on the heart. This medication is commonly prescribed as part of long-term cardiovascular disease management.
