Medicinal Benefits

Amlozaar H Tablet is a combination of three medicines, namely: Amlodipine, Hydrochlorothiazide, and Losartan. Amlodipine belongs to class medicines known as calcium channel blockers. Amlodipine is known to work by inhibiting the entry of calcium ions across cardiac (heart) and smooth muscle causing relaxation and dilation (widening) of these muscles. Amlodipine does not change serum calcium concentrations. Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic or water pill. Hydrochlorothiazide works by inhibiting the sodium chloride transport in the distal convoluted tubule (a portion of the kidney nephron). Along with accompanying fluid, more sodium is then excreted in the kidney. This increases the flow of urine and reduces the amount of water in the body, thereby helps in lowering blood pressure. Losartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) that works by blocking the hormone angiotensin, thereby relaxing and widening the narrowed blood vessels. This allows the blood to flow more smoothly in the blood vessels, and the heart can pump more efficiently. Thus, all together Amlozaar H Tablet helps in controlling high blood pressure.
