What does it do?

Mesylate amlodipine dihydrate belongs to the class of calcium channel blockers and is used to relax blood vessels by acting on vascular smooth muscle. It is primarily used in the treatment of hypertension and angina, playing a role in reducing the burden on the heart and blood vessels.

This ingredient helps relax blood vessels by blocking the influx of calcium ions into vascular smooth muscle cells. When blood vessels widen, blood pressure decreases, and the burden on the heart is reduced, leading to improved blood circulation.
