Amlo 5MG Tablet is a prescription medicine used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and angina (chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart). It contains Amlodipine, a medication from the calcium channel blocker (CCB) class. By relaxing blood vessels, it helps the heart pump blood more easily and reduces its workload, making it effective in lowering blood pressure and preventing heart-related complications.
This tablet is often used alone or in combination with other antihypertensives when blood pressure is not adequately controlled by lifestyle changes or monotherapy.

How Amlo 5MG Tablet works
Amlodipine, the active ingredient in Amlo 5MG Tablet, is a calcium channel blocker that works by relaxing the blood vessels and inhibiting the flow of calcium into heart muscle and arterial cells. This widens the arteries, lowers resistance, and makes it easier for the heart to pump blood throughout the body. As a result, blood pressure decreases, and the heart requires less effort and oxygen to function efficiently.
This mechanism also helps prevent spasms in the coronary arteries, which can lead to chest pain. Amlo 5MG is especially effective for long-term heart protection when taken regularly.
For best results, take the tablet at the same time each day, with or without food, and exactly as prescribed. Do not stop taking it suddenly, even if you feel well.
