Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that relaxes blood vessels by reducing calcium entry into vascular smooth muscle. Losartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that blocks angiotensin II–mediated vasoconstriction and aldosterone effects. Together they lower blood pressure and improve blood flow.
Take as prescribed by the doctor, usually once daily at the same time each day. Can be taken with or without food; swallow tablet with water. Do not stop abruptly without medical advice; monitor blood pressure regularly.
