Hypertension is a medical condition, in which the blood exerts high pressure (force exerted by circulating blood) against blood vessels’ walls.

Hypertension can cause severe health complications, including stroke, heart failure, heart attack, and kidney failure.

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, thereby lowering the blood pressure. Amlodipine also improves blood supply to the heart muscle to receive more oxygen and 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, thereby lowering blood pressure. Lisinopril also decreases the body’s production of certain substances that raise blood pressure.
