Amlodipine 5mg primarily treats hypertension (high blood pressure). It relaxes blood vessels, lowering the resistance your heart works against, thus reducing blood pressure.
This medication also effectively manages angina (chest pain). By widening coronary arteries, amlodipine increases blood flow to the heart, relieving pain associated with angina attacks.
Furthermore, Amlodipine is frequently prescribed for vasospastic angina (Prinzmetal’s angina), a specific type of angina triggered by coronary artery spasms. The drug’s vasodilating properties effectively counter these spasms.
