How Rindopril AM Tablet works
Rindopril AM Tablet is a combination of two medicines: amlodipine and perindopril erbumine. This combination helps lower high blood pressure through complementary actions. Amlodipine, which is a calcium channel blocker, relaxes and widens blood vessels to improve blood flow. Perindopril erbumine, which is an ACE inhibitor, reduces the production of angiotensin II, a substance that narrows blood vessels. Together, they decrease vascular resistance, lower blood pressure, and reduce the workload on the heart.
