Amlopres 5 Tablet contains Amlodipine 5 mg, a calcium channel blocker used to treat high blood pressure and help prevent angina-related chest pain. It relaxes the blood vessels so blood flows more easily and the heart does not have to work as hard. This also helps lower the risk of future heart attack and stroke. Most people feel no daily change because high blood pressure often has no clear signs. Taking it regularly with a healthy diet and some activity keeps the pressure steadier over time.
