What is amlor the antihypertensive drug?
Question:
Answers:
Amlodipine Besylate, which is more commonly known as NORVASC is the besylate salt of amlodipine, a long-acting calcium channel blocker.
Calcium channel blocking agents affect the movement of calcium into the cells of the heart and blood vessels. As a result, they relax blood vessels and increase the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart while reducing its workload.
Some of the calcium channel blocking agents are used to relieve and control angina pectoris (chest pain).
Some are also used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). High blood pressure adds to the workload of the heart and arteries. If it continues for a long time, the heart and arteries may not function properly. This can damage the blood vessels of the brain, heart, and kidneys, resulting in a stroke, heart failure, or kidney failure. High blood pressure may also increase the risk of heart attacks. These problems may be less likely to occur if blood pressure is controlled.
