About Affolmy-20 Tablet 10's
Affolmy-20 Tablet 10's belongs to a group of medications called 'anti-hypertensives' primarily used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). High blood pressure is a chronic (long-term) condition in which blood pressure is elevated persistently at higher-than-normal levels.

This effect allows the blood to flow more smoothly in the blood vessels.
