Drugs in ATC category "C09DX01":
- Amlodipine
- Amlodipine is a long-acting 1,4-dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker. It acts primarily on vascular smooth muscle cells by stabilizing voltage-gated L-type calcium channels in their inactive conformation. By inhibiting the influx of calcium in smooth muscle cells, amlodipine prevents calcium-dependent myocyte contraction and vasoconstriction. A second proposed mechanism for the drug’s vasodilatory effects involves pH-dependent inhibition of calcium influx via inhibition of smooth...

- Exforge HCT
- This product is used to treat high blood pressure ( hypertension ). Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks , and kidney problems. This product contains 3 medications: amlodipine , valsartan , and hydrochlorothiazide . Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker, and valsartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker. They both work differently to relax the blood vessels so that blood can flow through the body more easily. Hydrochlorothiazide is called a "water pill"...
- Hydrochlorothiazide (Hydrochlorothiazide)
- Hydrochlorothiazide information Hydrochlorothiazide is an antihypertensive, diuretic drug that acts on the electrolyte reabsorption in the renal tubular mechanism increasing the excretion of chloride and sodium in equivalent amounts. The exact mechanism of its antihypertensive action is not known at this time.
