Amlodipin Sandoz 10 mg

Amlodipin Sandoz is a generic pharmaceutical product used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and angina. The active ingredient, amlodipine, belongs to a class of medications known as calcium channel blockers. It works by relaxing the blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily and reducing the workload on the heart.

Sandoz, the brand behind the product, has a long history dating back to 1886 in Basel, Switzerland. Originally founded as Kern & Sandoz to manufacture synthetic dyes, the company transitioned into pharmaceuticals in the late 19th century. After decades of growth and a major merger with Ciba-Geigy to form Novartis in 1996, the Sandoz brand was later revived to represent Novartis' generics division.

As of late 2023, Sandoz transitioned back to being a fully independent, stand-alone company following a spin-off from Novartis. Today, Sandoz Group AG is headquartered in Basel, Switzerland, and is a global leader in generic and biosimilar medicines. Manufacturing for Amlodipin Sandoz occurs across several international sites, with major production facilities located in Slovenia, Germany, Poland, and Turkey.
