APO-Amlodipine 5mg 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, which belongs to a class of medicines known as calcium channel blockers. By relaxing the blood vessels, it helps blood flow more easily and reduces the workload on the heart.

The brand 'APO' is the prefix for products manufactured by Apotex Inc., a major Canadian pharmaceutical corporation. While the brand originated in Canada, Apotex operates a global supply chain with manufacturing facilities in several countries to serve international markets, including Australia, where this specific bottle (marked with AUST R 135145) is distributed.

Apotex is one of the largest generic drug manufacturers in the world. As of recent corporate transitions, the company is owned by SK Capital Partners, a private investment firm that focuses on the pharmaceutical, specialty materials, and chemical sectors. The brand continues to provide affordable generic alternatives to name-brand medications across various therapeutic categories globally.
