About Calchek-L 2.5 mg Tablet
Calchek-L 2.5 mg Tablet is used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). Hypertension is a medical condition in which the blood exerts high pressure (force exerted by circulating blood) against blood vessels' walls. This condition makes the heart work harder to pump blood into the whole body. Hypertension can cause severe health complications, including stroke, heart failure, heart attack, and kidney failure.
Calchek-L 2.5 mg 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.
