Uses of Aldan 5mg

Aldan 5mg is a prescription drug used in the treatment of a number of cardiovascular conditions. So what is Aldan 5mg drug and how to use this drug?

Aldan 5mg drug is made in the form of tablets, with the main ingredient in each tablet is Amlodipine 5mg.
Amlodipine is a calcium antagonist of the dihydropyridine class. The drug 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 membrane. Thereby reducing the smooth muscle tone of the blood vessels (arterioles), leading to a decrease in peripheral resistance leading to hypotension.
Amlodipine has antianginal effects mainly based on dilatation of peripheral arterioles and reduction of cardiac afterload. The drug does not cause reflex tachycardia, so the energy consumption and oxygen demand of the myocardium are reduced. The researchers suggested that Amlodipine dilates coronary vessels in both normal and ischemic regions, increasing myocardial oxygen delivery.
