APO-AMLODIPINE 5 mg tablets

APO-AMLODIPINE is a prescription medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and chest pain (angina). It contains the active ingredient amlodipine besilate, a calcium channel blocker that helps to relax blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood throughout the body. The 'AUST R 135145' code on the label indicates it is registered for use in the Australian market.

The brand 'Apo' indicates that it is part of the Apotex product line. Apotex is a major global pharmaceutical player that specializes in generic medications. While the brand is sold internationally, including in Australia and New Zealand, the brand itself originated in Canada, where the parent company remains a cornerstone of the domestic pharmaceutical industry.
