Amlovas-M 5/25 Tablet PR

Amlovas M 5/25 Tablet PR

Amlovas M 5/25 Tablet PR is a prescription medicine used in the management of high blood pressure and certain heart-related conditions. It is a combination of Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker, and Metoprolol, a beta-blocker, both of which act together to control blood pressure and improve heart function. Amlodipine works by relaxing blood vessels, making it easier for blood to flow, while Metoprolol helps slow down the heart rate and reduces the strain on the heart. This dual action not only brings blood pressure under control but also reduces the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular complications. The medicine is also useful in preventing angina and improving exercise tolerance in heart patients. For best results, it should be taken regularly under the guidance of a healthcare professional, along with healthy lifestyle modifications such as balanced diet, reduced salt intake, regular exercise, and stress management.
