How does the Drug work
◉Amlodipine and lisinopril are two medications commonly used to treat high blood pressure.
◉ Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that works by relaxing the blood vessels, which reduces the workload on the heart and helps lower blood pressure. It does this by blocking the entry of calcium into the smooth muscle cells of the blood vessels, which causes them to relax and widen.
◉ Lisinopril is an ACE inhibitor that works by preventing the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, a hormone that causes blood vessels to narrow and blood pressure to rise. By blocking this conversion, lisinopril helps to relax the blood vessels, lower blood pressure, and improve blood flow.
◉ When used together, amlodipine and lisinopril can have a complementary effect on blood pressure. Amlodipine helps to relax the blood vessels, while lisinopril helps to prevent the constriction of the vessels. This can result in a greater reduction in blood pressure compared to using either medication alone.
◉ However, it’s important to note that the combination of amlodipine and lisinopril should only be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional, as they can have potential side effects and interactions with other medications.
