Amlodipine 10mg tablets primarily treat hypertension (high blood pressure). Lowering blood pressure reduces the risk of serious cardiovascular events like stroke and heart attack.
Treating Angina
This medication also effectively manages angina (chest pain). Amlodipine relaxes blood vessels, improving blood flow to the heart and reducing angina episodes. This relief often allows for increased physical activity.
Vasospastic Angina (Prinzmetal’s Angina)
Amlodipine is particularly useful in treating vasospastic angina, a type of angina caused by spasms in the coronary arteries. It prevents these spasms, ensuring consistent blood flow to the heart muscle.
Important Note:
Always consult your doctor before starting or changing your medication. Amlodipine dosage and suitability depend on individual health conditions and other medications you may be taking. Do not adjust your dosage without medical supervision. This information is for general knowledge and does not constitute medical advice.
