Medicine Description erastapex 20mg
Erastapex Tablets for Hypertension | 20mg and 40mg is a medication that combines amlodipine and olmesartan, two agents that work synergistically to manage high blood pressure. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that inhibits the influx of calcium ions into vascular smooth muscle and cardiac muscle, resulting in the relaxation of blood vessels. This dilation lowers systemic vascular resistance, thereby decreasing blood pressure. On the other hand, olmesartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that prevents angiotensin II from binding to its receptors on blood vessels. This action further promotes vasodilation and reduces blood volume by inhibiting aldosterone secretion. The combined effect of these two mechanisms leads to enhanced blood pressure control and offers protection against the cardiovascular consequences of hypertension.
