Medicine Description amlosterolen 5mg
Amlosterolin Tablets for High Blood Pressure | 5mg and 10mg is a medication that combines amlodipine and atorvastatin to manage hypertension and dyslipidemia. Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker, works by inhibiting the influx of calcium ions into vascular smooth muscle and cardiac muscle. This action results in vasodilation and decreased peripheral vascular resistance, effectively lowering blood pressure. On the other hand, atorvastatin is a member of the statins class, which functions by competitively inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, a pivotal enzyme in cholesterol biosynthesis. This action leads to a reduction in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels in the bloodstream, minimizing the risk of atherosclerosis and improving overall cardiovascular health.
