AMLOVAS M5/50 – TAB

Description

Amlovas M 5/50 Tablet combines Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker, and Metoprolol Succinate, a beta-blocker. Amlodipine works by relaxing and widening blood vessels, improving blood flow, while Metoprolol reduces heart rate and the force of heart contractions, thereby lowering blood pressure and reducing the heart’s workload. This dual action makes it effective in treating high blood pressure and preventing chest pain associated with angina.
