Amlovas 2.5 Tablet

PRODUCT INTRODUCTION

Amlovas 2.5 Tablet is a medication primarily used for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) and certain other heart conditions. It belongs to a class of drugs known as calcium channel blockers. Each tablet typically contains 2.5 milligrams of Amlodipine, the active ingredient.
