Composition:

• Amlodipine (2.5 mg): Amlodipine helps to relax the blood vessels and improve blood flow, which in turn helps to lower blood pressure and relieve chest pain.

Uses of Amtas-2.5 (Amlodipine 2.5 mg):

1. Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): Amlodipine relaxes the blood vessels, which lowers blood pressure and reduces the risk of complications such as stroke, heart attack, and kidney problems.
2. Angina (Chest Pain): Amlodipine helps prevent chest pain by improving blood flow to the heart, reducing the heart’s workload.
3. Other Heart-related Conditions: It can also be used to treat certain types of coronary artery disease.
