This medicine works by relaxing the blood vessels which make the blood flow easily, thus lowering the blood pressure. This will reduce your risk of heart attack (blockage of heart muscles due to the formation of plaques) or a stroke (brain damage that occurs when the blood flow to a part of the brain is reduced or interrupted) by making it easier for your heart to pump blood around your body.
