Tab. Mylod-5mg

Mylod contains Amlodipine as the active ingredient which is a calcium channel blocker. In patients with high blood pressure, it works by relaxing blood vessels, so that blood passes through them more easily. In patients with angina, it works by improving blood supply to the heart muscle which then receives more oxygen and as a result chest pain is prevented.

Amlodipine blocks the transmembrane influx of calcium into the vascular and cardiac smooth muscles resulting in vasodilation and hence a fall in blood pressure.
