L-Amlo Tablet 1.25 mg contains Levamlodipine Maleate, a calcium channel blocker used for the management of high blood pressure (hypertension) and certain types of chest pain (angina). It is the active S-enantiomer of amlodipine and provides effective blood pressure control at a lower dose with improved tolerability in some patients.

Levamlodipine works by relaxing the smooth muscles of blood vessels, leading to vasodilation and improved blood flow. This helps reduce peripheral vascular resistance, thereby lowering blood pressure and reducing the workload on the heart. It also improves oxygen supply to the heart muscle, helping in the prevention of angina attacks.

L-Amlo Tablet is commonly prescribed as a long-term therapy for hypertension and cardiovascular risk reduction. It helps in preventing complications such as stroke, heart attack, and kidney damage associated with uncontrolled blood pressure.
