Description
AMLONG 10 MG TABLETS (30’s) contain amlodipine besylate, a calcium channel blocker used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and stable angina (chest pain). Each tablet delivers 10 mg of amlodipine. It relaxes and widens blood vessels, improving blood flow and reducing the heart’s workload, which helps lower blood pressure and ease chest pain.

- Manages angina by improving blood circulation and reducing chest discomfort.
