HOW LONITAB TABLET WORKS

Lonitab 5 Tablet belongs to the class of medicine known as potassium channel openers. It is an antihypertensive peripheral vasodilator. It works by opening adenosine triphosphate-sensitive potassium channels in vascular smooth muscle cells. This helps to dilate the arteries (blood vessels) to increase the blood flow and to decrease the blood pressure.
