Azovas 16 Tablet contains azelnidipine (16 mg). This medicine works in your body in the following ways:

• Blocks Calcium Channels: Azelnidipine blocks special channels, known as L-type calcium channels, in the smooth muscles of your blood vessels. These channels usually allow calcium to enter the cells.

• Relaxes Blood Vessels: By blocking these calcium channels, azelnidipine prevents calcium from entering the smooth muscle cells in your blood vessels. This makes these blood vessels relax and widen, which decreases the resistance to blood flow through the vessels.

• Reduces Blood Pressure: As a result of the relaxed and widened blood vessels, blood can flow more easily. This reduces the workload on your heart and lowers your blood pressure.
