Lovask Tablet 5 mg contains Amlodipine Besilate, a widely used calcium channel blocker indicated for the management of high blood pressure (hypertension) and certain types of angina (chest pain). It works by relaxing and widening blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily and reducing the workload on the heart. Regular use of Lovask helps lower blood pressure, prevent cardiovascular complications, and improve overall heart health.
