Amlovas 5mg Tablets - 30 Tablets for Hypertension & Heart Health
Amlovas 5mg Tablets are an effective medication used in the management of hypertension (high blood pressure) and the treatment of cardiovascular conditions. Each tablet contains 5mg of Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker that helps relax blood vessels and improve blood flow. This leads to reduced blood pressure, lessening the strain on the heart and promoting overall cardiovascular health.
Amlovas 5mg is commonly prescribed for patients who need assistance in managing chronic high blood pressure, which can reduce the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and kidney problems. In addition to lowering blood pressure, Amlovas is also used to treat chest pain (angina) by improving the flow of blood to the heart. For optimal results, it's important to pair this medication with a balanced diet and regular exercise.
As an oral tablet, Amlovas 5mg is typically taken once a day, and it is crucial to follow the prescribed dosage by your healthcare provider. Consistent use of Amlovas will help maintain a stable blood pressure level and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events.
