ALASPAN AM TABLET 10'S

How ALASPAN AM TABLET 10'S Works

• ALASPAN AM TABLET 10'S is a combination medication designed to manage hypertension (high blood pressure) effectively. It combines two active ingredients, Amlodipine and Olmesartan Medoxomil, each working through different mechanisms to lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events.
• Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker. It works by blocking the entry of calcium into the muscle cells of the heart and blood vessels. This causes the blood vessels to relax and widen, making it easier for the heart to pump blood. By reducing the resistance in blood vessels, amlodipine effectively lowers blood pressure. It primarily targets the vascular smooth muscle, leading to vasodilation and a decrease in peripheral resistance. This action helps in reducing both systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
• Olmesartan Medoxomil belongs to a class of drugs known as angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs). Angiotensin II is a hormone that causes blood vessels to constrict, leading to increased blood pressure. Olmesartan blocks the action of angiotensin II by preventing it from binding to its receptors in the blood vessels. This helps blood vessels to relax and widen, thereby lowering blood pressure. Additionally, Olmesartan reduces the release of aldosterone, a hormone that causes the kidneys to retain sodium and water. By reducing aldosterone levels, Olmesartan promotes the excretion of sodium and water, further contributing to the reduction in blood pressure.
• The synergistic action of Amlodipine and Olmesartan Medoxomil in ALASPAN AM TABLET 10'S provides comprehensive blood pressure control. Amlodipine's vasodilation effect complements Olmesartan's angiotensin II blocking action, resulting in a more pronounced and sustained reduction in blood pressure compared to either drug used alone. This combination helps to achieve target blood pressure levels more effectively, reducing the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney problems associated with hypertension.
• Furthermore, the combined mechanism of action offers additional benefits for patients with hypertension. By targeting different pathways involved in blood pressure regulation, ALASPAN AM TABLET 10'S can address various underlying causes of hypertension, such as vascular stiffness, hormonal imbalances, and fluid retention. This comprehensive approach to blood pressure management makes ALASPAN AM TABLET 10'S a valuable option for individuals who require combination therapy to achieve optimal blood pressure control.
