Aamin L 5mg/5mg Tablet

Aamin L 5mg/5mg Tablet is a prescription medicine used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It combines two active ingredients: Amlodipine (a calcium channel blocker) and Lisinopril (an ACE inhibitor), which work together to relax blood vessels and improve blood flow, helping lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart-related complications.

Uses of Aamin L Tablet

• Treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension)

How Aamin L Tablet Works

Amlodipine helps relax the smooth muscles of blood vessels by blocking calcium channels, while Lisinopril prevents the formation of a substance that tightens blood vessels (angiotensin II). Together, they help lower blood pressure more effectively than either drug alone.
