WHY OLIMELT IS GIVEN

Olimelt is a calcium channel blocker. This means that it works by blocking calcium from entering cells in the heart and blood vessels. This can help to lower blood pressure, relieve chest pain, and improve blood flow to the heart.

HOW DOES OLIMELT WORK?

Olimelt works by blocking calcium from entering cells in the heart and blood vessels. This can help to lower blood pressure, relieve chest pain, and improve blood flow to the heart.

Calcium is a mineral that is essential for many functions in the body, including muscle contraction, nerve function, and blood clotting. However, too much calcium can cause problems, such as high blood pressure, chest pain, and heart attacks.

Olimelt blocks calcium from entering cells by binding to calcium channels in the cell membranes. This prevents calcium from entering the cells and causing problems.

Olimelt is a safe and effective medication that is used to treat a variety of conditions. It is generally well-tolerated, but it can cause some side effects, such as dizziness, headache, and nausea.
