Tazloc-AM Tablet

Introduction

Tazloc-AM Tablet is a combination medication used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension) and certain heart conditions. It contains two active ingredients: Losartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), and Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker. This combination works together to lower blood pressure, relax blood vessels, and reduce the workload on the heart. Tazloc-AM Tablet helps in preventing strokes, heart attacks, and kidney damage in patients with high blood pressure.

Uses of Tazloc-AM Tablet

Tazloc-AM Tablet is primarily used for the following conditions:

• High blood pressure (hypertension)
• Prevention of stroke and heart attack in patients with hypertension
• Heart failure management
• Improvement of kidney function in diabetic patients with hypertension

How it Works

Tazloc-AM Tablet works through its two components. Losartan helps relax the blood vessels by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a hormone that constricts blood vessels. Amlodipine, on the other hand, relaxes the blood vessels and improves blood flow by inhibiting calcium from entering smooth muscle cells. Together, they reduce blood pressure and improve heart function.
