About Eslomet 2.5 Tablet

Eslomet 2.5 Tablet is used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). Also, Eslomet 2.5 Tablet is used to treat chest pain and irregular heart rhythm. Hypertension is a condition in which the force exerted by the blood against the artery walls becomes so high that it causes health problems, such as heart disease.

Eslomet 2.5 Tablet is a combination of two drugs:  S-amlodipine (calcium channel blocker) and S-metoprolol (beta-blocker). S-amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that works by acting on muscle cells in the artery walls and relaxes the muscle. Thereby, it relaxes and widens arteries (blood vessels) and improves the blood flow and oxygen supply to the heart. S-metoprolol belongs to the beta-blockers class, which works by blocking beta receptors in the heart and making the heartbeat slow and with less force. Thereby, it decreases the pressure at which blood is pumped out of the heart and throughout the body. Thus, together, they lower high blood pressure.
