Amlopress Z 50/5MG Tablet is a combination medication containing two active ingredients: Losartan (50mg) and Amlodipine (5mg). It is primarily used for the management of hypertension (high blood pressure).
- Losartan belongs to a class of drugs called Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (ARBs). It works by blocking the action of a natural substance in the body called angiotensin II, which normally causes blood vessels to narrow. By blocking this action, Losartan helps to relax and widen blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily and thereby lowering blood pressure.
- Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker (CCB). It acts by inhibiting the influx of calcium ions into the smooth muscle cells of the blood vessels and heart. This causes the blood vessels to relax and widen, reducing peripheral vascular resistance and lowering blood pressure. It also reduces the workload on the heart, which can be beneficial in conditions like angina (chest pain).
By combining these two mechanisms of action, Amlopress Z provides a more comprehensive and effective reduction in blood pressure than either medicine alone. This helps to reduce the risk of serious cardiovascular events such as heart attack, stroke, and kidney problems that can result from uncontrolled high blood pressure.
The tablet can be taken with or without food, but it is generally recommended to take it at a fixed time each day to maintain consistent blood levels and maximize its effectiveness. The dosage is determined by a doctor based on the individual’s condition and response to the medication. It’s crucial to continue taking this medication as prescribed, even if you feel well, as high blood pressure often has no noticeable symptoms.
