What is Afrab Amlodipine 10mg?
Afrab Amlodipine 10mg is an effective prescription medication used primarily to manage high blood pressure (hypertension) and to prevent chest pain (angina). Manufactured by Afrab-Chem Limited, a trusted name in the Nigerian pharmaceutical industry, this medication belongs to a class of drugs known as calcium channel blockers.
Each pack contains 28 tablets, providing a convenient monthly supply for most patients.
How Afrab Amlodipine Works
The active ingredient in this medication is Amlodipine Besylate. It works by relaxing the smooth muscles of the blood vessels, allowing them to widen. This process, called vasodilation, makes it easier for blood to flow through the body, effectively lowering blood pressure. For individuals with angina, Afrab Amlodipine improves blood flow and oxygen delivery to the heart muscle, reducing the frequency and severity of chest pain.
Key Benefits and Uses
- Hypertension Management: Helps lower blood pressure to prevent long-term complications like stroke, heart attack, and kidney problems.
- Chronic Stable Angina: Reduces the frequency of chest pain episodes.
- Vasospastic Angina: Effectively manages chest pain caused by spasms in the coronary arteries.

Afrab Amlodipine is typically taken once daily, with or without food. It is important to take the medication at the same time every day to maintain a consistent level in your bloodstream.
