Description
A2A 25mg Tablets contain Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension) and chest pain (angina). By relaxing the blood vessels, Amlodipine helps lower blood pressure, improve blood flow, and reduce the heart’s workload, thereby decreasing the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular complications.
