AMLODIPINE BESYLATE AND BENAZEPRIL HYDROCHLORIDE (amlodipine besylate)
AMLODIPINE BESYLATE AND BENAZEPRIL HYDROCHLORIDE is indicated for the treatment of Hypertension.
How AMLODIPINE BESYLATE AND BENAZEPRIL HYDROCHLORIDE Works
This combination medication lowers blood pressure through two synergistic pathways. Benazepril, an ACE inhibitor, prevents the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, a potent vasoconstrictor; this results in decreased vasopressor activity and reduced aldosterone secretion. Amlodipine, a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker, inhibits the transmembrane influx of calcium ions into vascular smooth muscle and cardiac muscle, resulting in peripheral arterial vasodilation and decreased systemic vascular resistance. Together, these mechanisms reduce blood pressure more effectively than either component alone.
