Uses & Benefits
Treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure), Blood pressure control in patients requiring combination therapy, Helps reduce risk of cardiovascular events such as stroke and heart attack associated with uncontrolled hypertension
How It Works
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.
Directions for Use
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.
May cause dizziness—avoid driving/operating machinery if affected. Monitor blood pressure, kidney function and serum potassium, especially in elderly, dehydrated patients or those with kidney disease. Use caution in heart failure, severe aortic stenosis, and liver impairment (amlodipine). ARBs like losartan should be avoided in pregnancy; stop immediately if pregnancy occurs. Seek medical help for facial/lip swelling or breathing difficulty (angioedema).
