Amlorus, tablets 5 mg 30 pcs

Amlorus is a dihydropyridine derivative, a II generation “slow” calcium channel blocker with antianginal and hypotensive effects. Binding to dihydropyridine receptors, it blocks calcium channels, reduces transmembrane transfer of calcium ions into the cell (more in vascular smooth muscle cells than in cardiomyocytes).
