Amin-L 5mg/5mg Tablet is a combination of medicine that consists of Amlodipine (calcium channel blocker) and Lisinopril (angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor). Amlodipine belongs to the class of 'calcium channel blockers and is used to treat high blood pressure, Prinzmetal's or variant angina (chest pain), and other conditions caused by coronary artery disease. It relaxes blood vessels so that blood passes through them easily, lowering blood pressure. Amlodipine also improves blood supply to the heart muscle to receive more oxygen, thus preventing chest pain. Lisinopril belongs to the class of 'Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (ACE) Inhibitors.' It relaxes and widens the blood vessels making it easier for the heart to pump blood throughout the body, lowering blood pressure. Lisinopril also decreases the body’s production of certain substances that raise blood pressure.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Hypertension: When your blood pressure is too high, you have a chronic condition. The amount of blood pumped by the heart and the amount of resistance exerted by the arteries against the blood flow is called blood pressure. When the heart pumps more blood, the arteries narrow, and the blood pressure rises. Uncontrolled blood pressure can lead to serious heart problems such as stroke and heart attack. High blood pressure can also damage the brain (stroke) and lead to kidney failure. The systolic and diastolic pressures of blood are measured. The contraction and relaxation of the heart are represented by systolic blood pressure. Diastolic pressure is exerted in the blood vessels when the heart is at rest and not beating. The ideal blood pressure range is 90/60 mmHg to 120/80 mmHg. When systolic blood pressure exceeds 140mmHg, and diastolic pressure exceeds 90mmHg, hypertension is diagnosed. Hypertension symptoms include headaches, nosebleeds, vomiting, and chest pain.
