L-Amlo Tablet 5 mg contains Levamlodipine Maleate, a long-acting calcium channel blocker used for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) and angina pectoris. It helps relax and widen blood vessels, improving blood flow and reducing the workload on the heart.

Levamlodipine is the active S-enantiomer of amlodipine, known for its effective antihypertensive action and improved tolerability in some patients. By inhibiting calcium ion entry into vascular smooth muscle cells, it causes vasodilation, which helps lower blood pressure and improve oxygen delivery to the heart muscle.

L-Amlo Tablet is commonly used as a once-daily medication for long-term blood pressure control and cardiovascular protection, helping reduce the risk of complications such as stroke, heart attack, and kidney damage.
