Product Description
AMLOPIN M 25mg is a fixed-dose combination medication containing Metoprolol and Amlodipine. Metoprolol is a beta-blocker that works by blocking the action of certain natural chemicals in the body, reducing heart rate and lowering blood pressure. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that relaxes blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more smoothly and reducing the workload on the heart. This combination is used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and angina (chest pain). It helps in controlling blood pressure levels and improving blood flow, reducing the risk of heart-related complications. AMLOPIN M 25mg is effective in managing these conditions for optimal cardiovascular health.
