Verified Ingredients and Effects

Composition:

AMLODIPINE-5MG + LISINOPRIL-5MG

Uses:

Treatment of Hypertension (high blood pressure)

Medicinal Benefits:

Aldol 5mg/5mg Tablet treats hypertension (high blood pressure) and consists of Amlodipine (calcium channel blocker) and Lisinopril (angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor). Amlodipine is a 'calcium channel blocker' and treats 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. It also treats chest pain by improving the blood supply to the heart muscle to receive more oxygen. Amlodipine also improves a person's tolerance to exercise and keeps the blood pressure at acceptable levels. Lisinopril is an 'Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (ACE) Inhibitor.' It relaxes and widens the blood vessels making it easier for the heart to pump blood throughout the body, lowering blood pressure.
