How Amlovas-M 5/50 Tablet works
Amlovas-M 5/50 Tablet PR combines two different medicines: amlodipine and metoprolol. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker. It works by relaxing blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood. This lowers blood pressure and increases oxygen supply to the heart. Metoprolol is a beta-blocker that slows down the heart rate and reduces the force of each heartbeat. Together, these actions decrease the heart’s workload and help control blood pressure more effectively than either medicine alone. The extended-release form of metoprolol ensures steady action throughout the day. Regular use keeps blood pressure stable and minimizes sudden spikes. This combination also prevents the heart from working too hard, especially during physical activity or stress.
