Description:
Amvasc 10mg Tablet belongs to a class of medicines known as calcium channel blockers. It is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and prevent angina (heart-related chest pain). It lowers blood pressure and reduces the heart's workload, which helps prevent heart attacks and strokes.
Amvasc 10mg Tablet may be prescribed alone or along with other medicines. The dose depends on what you are taking it for and the severity of your condition.
