Description
Product Introduction:
Amtas 10 Tablet is a medication that belongs to the class of drugs known as calcium channel blockers. It is primarily used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and prevent angina (heart-related chest pain). By relaxing the blood vessels, Amtas 10 helps lower blood pressure and reduces the workload on the heart, thereby helping to prevent heart attacks and strokes.
This tablet can be prescribed alone or in combination with other medications, depending on the severity of the condition being treated. It is essential to take Amtas 10 regularly as prescribed, even if you feel well, because high blood pressure often does not show symptoms. Stopping the medication suddenly may worsen your condition. Along with taking this medicine, lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, weight management, and a healthy diet can further help in controlling blood pressure.
