Medications (e.g., Calcium Channel Blockers, Antispasmodics)

Medications like Calcium Channel Blockers and Antispasmodics are drugs used to manage different health conditions. Calcium Channel Blockers help relax and widen blood vessels by preventing calcium from entering the cells of the heart and arteries, which lowers blood pressure and reduces the heart's workload. Antispasmodics relax the muscles in certain organs, such as the gastrointestinal or urinary tract, to relieve spasms and pain. Both types of medications are important tools for controlling symptoms and improving quality of life, but they should always be taken as prescribed by a healthcare professional to ensure safety and effectiveness.
