WHAT PHARMACOR AMLODIPINE IS USED FOR _WHAT IT DOES _ Pharmacor Amlodipine is used to: ● lower high blood pressure (hypertension). There are usually no symptoms of hypertension. The only way of knowing that you have hypertension is to have your blood pressure checked on a regular basis. If high blood pressure is not treated it can lead to serious health problems. ● treat angina pectoris. Angina is a pain or uncomfortable feeling in the chest, often spreading to the arms or neck, and sometimes to the shoulders and back. The pain of angina is due to a shortage of oxygen to the heart. Pharmacor Amlodipine is not for the relief of a sudden attack of angina. Your doctor will give you other medication to treat this. _HOW IT WORKS _ Pharmacor Amlodipine belongs to a group of medicines called _calcium _ _channel _ _blockers _ or _calcium _ _ion _ _antagonists. _ They work by widening your blood vessels, ma k i n g it e a s i e r fo r y o u r heart to pump blood around the body and help increase the supply of blood and oxygen to your heart. _Calcium channel blockers _ do not change the amount of calcium in your blood or bones.
