Description
Amfast L Tablet is a combination medication primarily used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). It typically contains two active ingredients:
- Amlodipine: This is a calcium channel blocker. It works by relaxing and widening the blood vessels, which allows blood to flow more easily and reduces the workload on the heart. This action helps to lower blood pressure and can also relieve chest pain (angina) by increasing blood and oxygen supply to the heart.
- Losartan: This is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist (ARB). It works by blocking the effects of a natural substance in the body called angiotensin II, which narrows blood vessels. By blocking this, Losartan helps to relax blood vessels, lower blood pressure, and reduce the risk of future heart problems.
This combination of medications is often prescribed when a single medication is not sufficient to control blood pressure. By acting through different mechanisms, Amlodipine and Losartan work together to achieve better blood pressure control. This helps reduce the risk of serious complications associated with high blood pressure, such as heart attack, stroke, and kidney problems.
It’s important to take Amfast L Tablet regularly as prescribed by your doctor, even if you feel well, as high blood pressure often has no symptoms. Lifestyle changes, such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, and reduced salt intake, are also crucial in managing blood pressure effectively.
