What does it do?

Amlodipine orotate is a member of the calcium channel blocker class, working by inhibiting calcium influx into vascular smooth muscle, thus facilitating blood vessel dilation. It is primarily used in the treatment of hypertension and angina.

This ingredient prevents calcium from entering vascular muscle cells, which relaxes the blood vessels. As the vessels widen, blood pressure decreases, and the burden on the heart is reduced.
