Amlip 2.5 Tablet is a prescription medicine that belongs to the class of drugs called calcium channel blockers (CCBs). It is primarily used for the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension) and the prevention of angina (chest pain due to heart disease). By helping to relax and widen the blood vessels, Amlip reduces the heart’s workload and improves blood flow. This action leads to lower blood pressure, reduced chest pain, and a decreased risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney damage.
This medicine is often prescribed alone or in combination with other antihypertensives, depending on the severity of the condition. Amlip 2.5 Tablet is usually taken once daily, with or without food, and at the same time each day for the best effect.

How Amlip 2.5 Tablet works
Amlip contains Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker that works by relaxing the blood vessels so that blood can flow more easily. In hypertension, this helps reduce the pressure exerted on the blood vessels. In angina, this relaxation allows more oxygen-rich blood to reach the heart muscles, reducing pain and the likelihood of angina attacks. It does not provide immediate relief of chest pain but works over time to prevent episodes.
To maintain a steady effect, it is important to take Amlip at the same time every day. Skipping doses or stopping abruptly can cause a rebound increase in blood pressure or worsen angina. Lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, exercising regularly, quitting smoking, and managing stress will enhance the effectiveness of this medication.
