What does it do?

Esamlodipine besylate belongs to the calcium channel blocker class of drugs and works by acting on vascular smooth muscle to induce relaxation of blood vessels. It is primarily used in the treatment of hypertension and angina, helping to regulate blood pressure.

This ingredient prevents the influx of calcium ions into vascular muscle cells, allowing the blood vessels to relax instead of constricting. With the dilation of blood vessels, blood flows smoothly and blood pressure decreases.
