Description

Calchek-L 2.5 Tablet is used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). This is a combination of two medicines that controls blood pressure when a single medication is not effective. It helps to lower high blood pressure and thus reduces the chances of future heart attack and stroke.
Amlodipine belongs to the class of calcium channel blockers and is used to treat high blood pressure, 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. It 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.
