Amlopres Mechanism of Action – How Does Amlodipine Besylate Work?

In certain medical conditions such as coronary heart disease and atherosclerosis, the narrowing of artery causes artery blockage which results in lesser blood supply to the heart. As a result, complications such as high blood pressure occur because blood exerts excessive force against the walls of the blood vessels. Angina is a medial complication which is characterized by excruciating chest pain due to insufficient blood supply to the heart. Amlodipine Besylate acts as a calcium channel blocker by impeding the movement of calcium molecules into the smooth muscles that border the arteries present in the heart and other parts of the body.
Calcium is an essential mineral which plays an important role in muscle contraction. When the transport of calcium molecules are suppressed, the smooth muscles of the heart will involuntarily return to a relaxed state. When the arteries are in a relaxed state, there is an increase in the size of the arteries resulting in an improved blood flow to the heart and other body parts.
Generic Norvasc tablets block the calcium molecules from contracting smooth muscles of the arteries, resulting in their relaxed state. Amlopres tablets avert the incidence of angina in patients by relaxing the arteries and thus increasing blood flow. An enhanced blood flow reduces the blood pressure levels and relieves the heart’s burden to pump fresh blood to the different organs in the body. Amlodipine Besylate tablets reduce the oxygen demand of heart muscles, which further helps to prevent the development of angina that occurs in coronary artery disease patients.
