How it works
Amleod H 5mg/12.5mg Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Amlodipine and hydrochlorothiazide which lower blood pressure effectively. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker which relaxes blood vessels and makes the heart more efficient at pumping blood throughout the body. Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic which removes extra water and certain electrolytes from the body by increasing the amount of urine produced. Over time it also works by relaxing blood vessels and improving blood flow.Amleod H 5mg/12.5mg Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Amlodipine and hydrochlorothiazide which lower blood pressure effectively.
