Tab. Amlospire-2.5mg

Amlospire contains Amlodipine as an active ingredient which is a calcium channel blocker. It works by relaxing blood vessels which makes the heart more efficient at pumping blood throughout the body.  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. It does not provide immediate relief of chest pain from angina.
