Information about Amlokind 5 Tablet

Description:

Amlokind is used alone or together with other medicines to treat angina (chest pain) and high blood pressure (hypertension). High blood pressure adds to the workload of the heart and arteries. If it continues for a long time, the heart and arteries may not function properly. This can damage the blood vessels of the brain, heart, and kidneys, resulting in a stroke, heart failure, or kidney failure. High blood pressure may also increase the risk of heart attacks. These problems may be less likely to occur if blood pressure is controlled. Amlokind is a calcium channel blocker. It affects the movement of calcium into the cells of the heart and blood vessels. As a result, Amlokind relaxes blood vessels and increases the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart while reducing its workload. Amlokind is available only with your doctor's prescription.

Uses / Indications:

Amlokind 5 Tablet is used to treat high blood pressure. It is a prescription medicine. This medicine lowers the blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels and reducing the force required to maintain blood flow from the heart. Amlokind 5 is also used to treat long-term chest pain called as Angina. This medicine helps to control chest pain by increasing the amount of blood supply to the heart. It is also used to treat chest pain at rest (variant angina). Amlokind 5 is also used to reduce the effects of damage in the heart blood vessels called as Coronary Artery Disease. Amlokind 5 Tablet may also be taken in combination with other medicines to treat certain conditions as recommended by the doctor.
