What does it do?

Amlodipine nicotinate is a member of the calcium channel blocker class, used to relax blood vessels and lower blood pressure. It is primarily used in the treatment of hypertension and angina and helps in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases.

This agent works by blocking the influx of calcium into vascular muscle cells, which widens blood vessels and facilitates blood flow. As a result, blood pressure decreases, and the strain on the heart is reduced.
