Description
Amlovar belongs to the class of drugs called Calcium Channel Blockers (CCBs). It contains Amlodipine besylate as its active constituent. It is presented as 5mg and 10mg tablets.
Indication:
- Management of high blood pressure and angina pectoris.
Amlovar inhibits the influx of extracellular calcium ions into the vascular smooth muscle, this action causes vasodilatation (relaxing of the smooth muscle of the blood vessels) with resultant reduction in blood pressures through a decrease in Total Peripheral Vascular Resistance (TPVR).
This mechanism of action extends to the coronary vessels (artery supplying blood to heart muscles) bringing about its relaxation and consequent relief of angina pectoris.
