AMLODAC L TABLET 10'S

How AMLODAC L TABLET 10'S Works

• AMLODAC L TABLET 10'S is a combination medication designed to effectively manage hypertension (high blood pressure) and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events. It contains two active ingredients: Amlodipine and Lisinopril, each working through distinct mechanisms to achieve blood pressure control.
• Amlodipine belongs to a class of drugs called calcium channel blockers. It primarily works by relaxing and widening the blood vessels. Calcium is essential for muscle contraction, including the muscles in the walls of arteries. Amlodipine blocks the entry of calcium into these muscle cells. This blockage reduces the ability of the blood vessels to constrict, leading to vasodilation (widening of blood vessels). By widening the arteries, amlodipine reduces the resistance against which the heart has to pump, thereby lowering blood pressure. This also improves blood flow to the heart, reducing the frequency of chest pain (angina).
• Lisinopril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. ACE is an enzyme in the body that converts angiotensin I to angiotensin II. Angiotensin II is a potent vasoconstrictor, meaning it narrows the blood vessels, leading to increased blood pressure. It also stimulates the release of aldosterone, a hormone that causes the kidneys to retain sodium and water, further increasing blood volume and pressure. Lisinopril inhibits ACE, thus reducing the production of angiotensin II. This leads to vasodilation, decreased aldosterone production, and reduced sodium and water retention by the kidneys. Consequently, blood pressure is lowered.
• When Amlodipine and Lisinopril are combined in AMLODAC L TABLET 10'S, they provide a complementary approach to blood pressure management. Amlodipine reduces vascular resistance by directly relaxing the blood vessels, while Lisinopril reduces the production of a hormone that causes vasoconstriction and fluid retention. This dual mechanism provides a more effective and sustained reduction in blood pressure than either drug could achieve alone. This combined action not only lowers blood pressure but also provides added protection against cardiovascular complications such as heart attack, stroke, and kidney damage by reducing the workload on the heart and improving overall vascular health.
• The synergistic effect of Amlodipine and Lisinopril makes AMLODAC L TABLET 10'S a valuable option for patients who require more than one medication to control their hypertension. It simplifies the treatment regimen by providing two medications in a single tablet, improving patient compliance and overall treatment outcomes. Always take AMLODAC L TABLET 10'S exactly as prescribed by your doctor, and maintain regular follow-up appointments to monitor your blood pressure and overall health.
