About Asomex 5mg Tablet 15’s
Asomex 5mg Tablet 15’s belongs to a class of medicines called calcium channel blockers which are primarily taken to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and angina (chest pain). Hypertension (high blood pressure) is a lifelong or chronic condition in which the blood pressure against the artery walls becomes high. The higher this blood pressure, the harder the heart has to pump.
Asomex 5mg Tablet 15’s contains ‘S-amlodipine’, a calcium channel blocker that acts by relaxing the blood vessels. This reduces the heart’s workload and makes the heart more efficient at pumping blood throughout the body. Thus, it helps to lower high blood pressure, reducing the chances of heart attack or stroke.
