How it works
Ildomex 2.5 Tablet is a calcium channel blocker. In high blood pressure, it normalizes the blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels to reduce the pressure on them, thereby improving the blood flow in the body. The enhanced blood flow in the body further relaxes the heart muscles by reducing the workload on the heart. It also improves the oxygen flow in the body, thereby preventing any heart-related chest pain.

Raise your legs while you are sitting down to reduce ankle or foot swelling. Do not drive or perform any activity that requires mental focus until you know how Ildomex 2.5 Tablet affects you. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding.
