AMLOKIND 5MG contains Amlodipine which belongs to a group of medicines called calcium antagonists. It is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), chest pain due to narrowing of the blood vessels of the heart muscle (angina pectoris) or a rare form of chest pain due to cramping of the blood vessels of the heart muscle (prinzmetal or variant angina). It can be used alone or in combination with other medicines to treat these conditions.
High blood pressure usually occurs from blood pushing too hard against your blood vessels. Pain or discomfort that keeps coming back when part of your heart does not get enough blood is defined as angina.
