Question 2

How does AMLODIPINE AND OLMESARTAN MEDOXOMIL work?

Accepted Answer

AMLODIPINE AND OLMESARTAN MEDOXOMIL works through the following mechanism: 12.1 Mechanism of Action Amlodipine and olmesartan medoxomil tablets: Amlodipine and olmesartan medoxomil tablets are a combination of two antihypertensive drugs: a dihydropyridine calcium antagonist (calcium ion antagonist or slow-channel blocker), amlodipine besylate, and an angiotensin II receptor blocker, olmesartan medoxomil. The amlodipine component of amlodipine and olmesartan medoxomil tablets inhibits the transmembrane influx of calcium ions into vascular smooth muscle and cardiac muscle, and the olmesartan medoxomil component of amlodipine and olmesartan medoxomil tablets blocks the vasoconstrictor effects of angiotensin II. Amlodipine. Experimental data suggests that amlodipine binds to both dihydropyridine and nonhydropyridine binding sites. The contractile processes of cardiac muscle and vascular smooth muscle are dependent upon the movement of extracellular calcium ions into these cells through specific ion channels. Amlodipine inhibits calcium ion influx across cell memb.
