What does it do?

S-Amlodipine Besylate Hemihydrate 2.5 belongs to the calcium channel blocker class of drugs. It is used to relax blood vessels by acting on vascular smooth muscle, thereby lowering blood pressure. It is primarily used for the treatment of hypertension and angina.

This component helps to relax blood vessels by blocking the influx of calcium ions into vascular muscle cells. As blood vessels widen, blood flows smoothly, and blood pressure decreases. This reduces the burden on the heart and improves blood circulation.
