Amlokind-2.5 Tablet is taken orally.

Amlokind-2.5 Tablet contains a single active ingredient, Amlodipine (2.5mg). It works on your body in the following ways:

• Relaxes Heart and Blood Vessels: Amlodipine is a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker. It helps in relaxing the smooth muscles of the heart and blood vessels. This makes it easier for your heart to pump blood and improves blood flow in the coronary arteries.

• Reduces Blood Pressure: By widening or dilating the arteries, Amlodipine effectively reduces peripheral resistance, leading to a decrease in blood pressure.

• Inhibits Calcium Ion Influx: Amlodipine inhibits the movement of calcium ions into vascular smooth muscle and cardiac muscle. It binds to both dihydropyridine and nondihydropyridine binding sites. It has a greater effect on vascular smooth muscle cells than on cardiac muscle cells.

• Keep Amlokind-2.5 Tablet at room temperature, ideally below 30°C.

• Protect the medicine from light and moisture; store it in a cool, dry place.

• Ensure the medicine is out of reach of children.

• It's important to use this medicine before its expiry date.

• For managing high blood pressure, reducing your salt intake can be beneficial. Try to limit processed and fast foods, which are often high in sodium.

• Exercise regularly to maintain good heart health. Even simple activities like brisk walking or cycling can help manage blood pressure and reduce the frequency of angina attacks. Always consult your doctor before starting any new exercise regimen.
