Amlodipine + Atorvastatin + Ramipril

Uses

Amlodipine, Atorvastatin, and Ramipril are used in the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure).

How it Works

How Amlodipine, Atorvastatin, and Ramipril Work Amlodipine, Atorvastatin, and Ramipril is a combination of three medications: Amlodipine, Atorvastatin, and Ramipril. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker (CCB) that works by relaxing blood vessels, which makes the heart more efficient at pumping blood throughout the body. Atorvastatin is a lipid-lowering medication that lowers "bad" cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides while raising "good" cholesterol (HDL). Ramipril is an ACE inhibitor that reduces stress on the heart and relaxes blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more smoothly. Together, these medications reduce the risk of heart disease.
