What does it do?

Esamlodipine besylate monohydrate is a drug that belongs to the calcium channel blocker class. It is mainly used for the treatment of hypertension and is used for the purpose of lowering blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels.

This ingredient works by blocking the influx of calcium ions into vascular smooth muscle cells, leading to vasodilation. As a result, vascular resistance decreases, and blood pressure drops.
