Pharmaceutical substance Amlodipine besylate is a calcium channel antagonist, belongs to the dihydropyridine group, has anti-anginal effects and treats hypertension. Mechanism of lowering blood pressure: Eroamlo inhibits the transmembrane influx of calcium into cardiac and smooth muscle cells of the vascular wall by blocking the slow calcium channels of the cell membranes. Thanks to the action of amlodipine, the smooth muscle tone of the blood vessels decreases, thereby reducing the peripheral resistance leading to lower blood pressure. Mechanisms against angina: By dilating peripheral arterioles and reducing cardiac afterload. It is the myocardial energy consumption and oxygen demand that decrease because the drug does not cause reflex tachycardia, and it is coronary vasodilation that increases myocardial oxygen supply. After oral administration, Eroamlo is slowly and almost completely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and is not affected by food. The slow elimination of Eroamlo leads to a prolonged effect, making it suitable for once-daily dosing.
