Product Introduction:
AMLOSAFE H Tablet is a combination medication containing two active ingredients: Amlodipine (5mg) and Hydrochlorothiazide (12.5mg). Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker, while Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic. This combination is commonly prescribed for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure).
