How It Works
Amlosafe H Tablet combines two active ingredients that work together to lower blood pressure effectively:
- Amlodipine: A calcium channel blocker that helps relax blood vessels, allowing the heart to pump blood more efficiently throughout the body.
- Hydrochlorothiazide: A diuretic that helps remove excess water and electrolytes from the body by increasing urine output. Over time, it also helps relax blood vessels, improving blood flow and further aiding in blood pressure reduction.
