AMLOD 5MG

Description

Amlodipine (trade name Norvasc) is a medication used to lower blood pressure and prevent chest pain (angina). It belongs to a class of drugs called calcium channel blockers, which work by relaxing the smooth muscle in the walls of blood vessels, allowing them to widen and increasing blood flow. Amlodipine is available in various strengths and formulations, such as tablets of 2.5mg, 5mg, and 10mg. It is usually taken once a day, with or without food. Common side effects include swelling, headache, and dizziness. It should not be used in people who are allergic to amlodipine or other calcium channel blockers.
