Amlodipine-eplerenone

What is Amlodipine-eplerenone? Amlodipine is an extended-release tablet containing the dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker amlodipine besylate. Eplerenone is a selective mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist, related to spironolactone but with fewer side effects and a higher specificity for the receptor. The combination of amlodipine and eplerenone is used in the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension) and heart failure, particularly when patients are intolerant to other antihypertensive agents or when they have conditions requiring potassium sparing....

Amlodipine-eprosartan

What is Amlodipine-eprosartan? Amlodipine-eprosartan, also known as Eprovasc, is an antihypertensive medication used to treat high blood pressure and certain types of chest pain (angina). It combines the calcium channel blocker amlodipine with the angiotensin II receptor antagonist eprosartan. The combination of these two classes of medications works by relaxing blood vessels and reducing the heart’s workload, ultimately lowering blood pressure and alleviating symptoms of angina. What is Amlodipine-eprosartan used for?...

Amlodipine-felodipine

What is Amlodipine-felodipine? Amlodipine and Felodipine are calcium channel blockers (CCBs) used together in fixed-dose combinations, primarily indicated for the treatment of hypertension and angina pectoris. Amlodipine is a dihydropyridine CCB with vasodilatory effects, while felodipine also has dihydropyridine-class properties, providing additive blood pressure-lowering benefits when co-administered. This combination aims to offer improved blood pressure control and/or increased efficacy for managing angina symptoms in eligible patients. What is Amlodipine-felodipine used for?...

Amlodipine-fenoldopam

What is Amlodipine-fenoldopam? Amlodipine, also known as an extended-release formulation, and Fenoldopam are not commonly found together. However, I can introduce you to Amlodipine separately. Amlodipine is a medication that belongs to the class of calcium channel blockers (CCBs). It is primarily used in the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension) and certain types of chest pain (angina). What is Amlodipine-fenoldopam used for? Unfortunately, I couldn’t find any information on a combination medication called Amlodipine-Fenoldopam....

Amlodipine-fosinopril

What is Amlodipine-fosinopril? Amlodipine-fosinopril, also known as Telma H or Quadramet (note: generic), is a fixed-dose combination of two antihypertensive medications. Amlodipine belongs to the calcium channel blocker class and works by relaxing blood vessels, thereby reducing blood pressure and heart rate. Fosinopril, an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, blocks the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, a potent vasoconstrictor, resulting in vasodilation and reduced blood pressure. The combination is used to treat high blood pressure in adults....
