It combines two medications: amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker, and losartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). This combination works by relaxing blood vessels and reducing the workload on the heart, leading to lower blood pressure.Preparations:
Amlodipine/losartan is available as an oral tablet.
Indications:
High Blood Pressure (Hypertension): It's used to lower blood pressure in adults who are not adequately controlled on a single medication. It can also be used as initial therapy in patients who are likely to need multiple medications to reach their blood pressure goals.
Dosage Recommendations:
Dosage varies depending on the individual's blood pressure and response to treatment. It's crucial to consult a healthcare professional for proper dosage and administration instructions.
Adults: Typically, treatment starts with a low dose (5 mg amlodipine/50 mg losartan) once daily. The dose may be increased gradually, up to a maximum of 10 mg amlodipine/100 mg losartan once daily, depending on the patient's response.
