Lotensyl 20 Tablet contains Lercanidipine (20 mg), which interacts with your body in a number of ways:

• Blocking Calcium Ions: Lercanidipine works by blocking the entry of calcium ions into the smooth muscle cells lining your blood vessels. Calcium ions play a crucial role in the contraction of these muscles, so blocking them helps these muscles to relax.

• Vasodilation: By causing relaxation of the blood vessel muscles, Lercanidipine induces a process called vasodilation. This is a widening of the blood vessels, which reduces resistance to blood flow, making it easier for the heart to pump blood around the body.

• Lowering Blood Pressure: The ultimate effect of these processes is a decrease in blood pressure. By making it easier for the heart to pump blood, and reducing resistance to this flow, Lercanidipine effectively manages high blood pressure.
