Aldo L Tablet

Aldo L Tablet is a combination medicine used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It contains Amlodipine 5mg, a calcium channel blocker, and Lisinopril 5mg, an ACE inhibitor. This combination helps in relaxing and widening blood vessels, improving blood flow and lowering blood pressure effectively.
