Calcium channel blocker / ARB combinations are used to lower blood pressure to treat hypertension. They work by relaxing blood vessels to allow for easier blood flow to the heart.
Why are calcium channel blocker arb combinations prescribed?
Calcium channel blocker-ARB combinations are primarily used to treat high blood pressure. These medications work by combining the effects of calcium channel blockers, which relax blood vessels, with angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs), which help lower blood pressure by blocking a hormone that tightens blood vessels. These combinations are available in oral forms. Examples include amlodipine / olmesartan (Azor), amlodipine / valsartan (Exforge), and amlodipine / telmisartan.
