Amlodipine + Lisinopril

Amlodipine + Lisinopril is a commonly prescribed combination medicine used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension) and support heart health. High blood pressure increases the risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney problems if not controlled properly. This combination works in two effective ways to keep blood pressure within a healthy range. Amlodipine helps relax and widen blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily, while Lisinopril helps reduce pressure by blocking substances that tighten blood vessels.

Together, these medicines provide better and longer-lasting blood pressure control than single-drug therapy. They also help reduce strain on the heart and protect vital organs such as the heart, brain, and kidneys from damage caused by uncontrolled hypertension.

Amlodipine + Lisinopril is usually taken once daily as advised by a doctor. It may also be prescribed for patients with heart failure or those at high cardiovascular risk. When used regularly along with a healthy lifestyle, this medicine is effective, well tolerated, and helps maintain long-term cardiovascular health.
