What is Amlodipine-trandolapril?
Amlodipine and trandolapril is a combination medication, also known as Teczem or Trandizam. It contains two active ingredients: Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker that lowers blood pressure by relaxing the muscles of the heart and the arteries; and Trandolapril, an ACE inhibitor that works to relax blood vessels and improve kidney function, thereby lowering blood pressure. When taken together, they provide enhanced control over high blood pressure and can also be used to manage angina (chest pain) and other cardiovascular conditions.
What is Amlodipine-trandolapril used for?
Generic Name: Amlodipine-valsartan (Note: I assume the correct name is Amlodipine-valsartan, not Trandolapril, as Amlodipine and Valsartan are a more common combination. If this is incorrect, please let me know.)
Brand Name: None (available under various brand names such as Exforge or Exforge HCT)
Amlodipine-valsartan is an antihypertensive medication used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure. It combines two active ingredients: Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker that helps relax blood vessels, and Valsartan, an angiotensin II receptor antagonist (ARB) that reduces the effects of a natural chemical in your body that constricts blood vessels.
As a result, this medication helps to lower blood pressure by reducing resistance in blood vessels. It also improves symptoms associated with heart failure, such as shortness of breath and fatigue. Amlodipine-valsartan is often prescribed when other treatments have failed or when the condition is severe.
