Description
VAZKOR 5mg Tablets are a crucial prescription-only medication available at Gathimaini Pharmacy in Thika, Kenya, primarily used for the effective management of high blood pressure (hypertension) and certain types of chest pain (angina). Each tablet contains Amlodipine 5mg, which belongs to a class of medicines called calcium channel blockers. Amlodipine works by relaxing and widening blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily and reducing the workload on the heart. This action helps to lower blood pressure, reduce the risk of serious cardiovascular events such as strokes and heart attacks, and improve blood supply to the heart muscle, thereby preventing angina attacks. VAZKOR 5mg is often prescribed as an initial dose or for patients requiring a lower strength to control their blood pressure or angina effectively. It is a long-acting medication typically taken once daily for sustained therapeutic effect.
