Description

Amlip 2.5, manufactured by Cipla, contains Amlodipine 2.5 mg, a calcium channel blocker used mainly to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and chest pain (angina). By relaxing the blood vessels, it allows blood to flow more easily, which helps reduce blood pressure and improves oxygen supply to the heart. Lowering blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. It is often prescribed alone or in combination with other medications for heart-related conditions.
