Description
Amodip 5mg Tablets — Amlodipine Besylate for Hypertension & Angina
Amodip 5mg Tablets contain Amlodipine Besylate, a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker (CCB) prescribed for the management of hypertension (high blood pressure) and angina pectoris. Amlodipine relaxes vascular smooth muscle by blocking calcium entry through L-type channels, resulting in vasodilation, reduced peripheral resistance, and lower blood pressure.
The 5mg dose is often the starting dose for hypertension or used in patients requiring a lower therapeutic intensity. Amodip 5mg provides smooth, sustained blood pressure control with once-daily dosing, minimising the risk of cardiovascular events.
