What does it do?

S-Amlodipine Besylate Hydrate belongs to the calcium channel blocker class of drugs. It is primarily used to lower blood pressure by dilating blood vessels. It helps control blood pressure in patients with hypertension.

This ingredient relaxes blood vessels by blocking the influx of calcium ions into vascular smooth muscle cells. When the blood vessels widen, blood pressure decreases, reducing the strain on the heart. Consequently, it alleviates symptoms of hypertension.
