Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker, works by relaxing and widening the blood vessels. It does this by preventing calcium from entering muscle cells in the heart and blood vessel walls.
Hydrochlorothiazide is a type of water pill or diuretic. It removes extra water and certain electrolytes from the body through urine, helping to relax the blood vessels and decrease blood pressure.
Losartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). By blocking the action of a substance in the body that causes blood vessels to tighten, it helps blood vessels to relax and lower blood pressure. Together, these ingredients work in harmony to effectively manage high blood pressure.
