amlodipine

Hypertension

Amlodipine is indicated for treating hypertension, with the purpose of lowering blood pressure. Hypotension reduces the risk of cardiovascular and non -death cardiovascular events, mainly stroke and myocardial infarction. These benefits have been seen in control tests of hypotension drugs of many different pharmacological groups including amlodipine.

Controlling hypertension must be part of comprehensive cardiovascular risk control, including, if appropriate, lipid control, diabetes control, anti -thrombotic treatment, stop smoking, exercise and limit sodium absorption. Many patients will need more than one drug to achieve blood pressure goals. For specific advice on goals and controls, see the published instructions, such as the National Committee of the National Committee (JNC) on prevention, detection, evaluation, and treatment of hypertension of the National Hypertension Education Program (USA).

Many types of antihypertensive drugs, belonging to many different pharmacological groups and have different mechanisms of operation, have been shown in random trials that are controlled by reducing the incidence of cardiovascular disease and death, and it is concluded that it is the effect of lowering blood pressure rather than other pharmacological properties of the drug bring most of those benefits. The biggest and consistent benefit for cardiovascular is to reduce the risk of stroke, but also often reduces myocardial infarction and reduces cardiovascular mortality.

Increased systolic or diastolic blood pressure increases cardiovascular risk, and an absolute risk of increased risk per mmHg is higher when the blood pressure is higher, so even a modest decrease in severe hypertension can bring significant benefits. The relatively reduced risk of hypotension is similar to the groups of absolute risks, so the absolute benefits are greater in patients at higher risk, regardless of their hypertension (for example, patients with diabetes or hyperlemia), and such patients are expected to benefit more actively treatment for hypotension.

Some of the lower blood pressure drugs that have a weaker blood pressure (in single therapy) in black skin patients, and many antihypertensive drugs have additional indications and approved effects (for example, for angina, heart failure, or diabetic kidney disease). These considerations can be oriented for the selection of treatment therapy.

Amlodipine can be used alone or in combination with other antihypertensive drugs.

Coronary artery disease (CAD)

Chronic stable angina: Amlodipine is indicated to treat symptoms in chronic stable angina. Amlodipine can be used alone or in combination with other anti -angina drugs. Amlodipine can be used in single therapy or combined with other anti -angina drugs. rim.

Atorvastatin

Treatment with HMG inhibitors of Coa-Reductase (lipid changes) should only be a component of many risk intervention therapy in people who are at risk of significantly increasing atherosclerosis due to hypercholesterol. Drug treatment is recommended as a supportive therapy for a diet when responding to a diet of saturated fat and cholesterol and other non -drug -free measures is not enough. In patients with coronary artery disease (CHD) or there are many risk factors for CHD, it is possible to start using Atorvastatin simultaneously with a diet.

Cardiovascular Prevention (CVD) in adults

In patients with adults without clinical coronary artery disease but there are many risk factors for coronary artery disease such as age, smoking, hypertension, high density lipoprotein cholesterol level (HDL-C), or family history of early coronary artery disease, Atorvastatin is designated to:

Reduce the risk of myocardial infarction (Mi). pressure, Atorvastatin is designated to:

Reduce the risk of myocardial infarction.

Reduce the risk of non -death myocardial infarction.

Atorvastatin is designated:

In the form of a drug that supports the diet to reduce total cholesterol levels (total C), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), apolipoprotein B (APO B), and high triglyceride (TG) and to increase HDL-C in adult patients with hypercholular hypercholesterol (have a family of primary and non-family heterosexuals) Mixed (Fredrickson tube and ILB)

In the form of a supportive drug for a diet to treat adult patients with high serum levels (Fredrickson tube IV);

To treat adult patients with betalipoprotein disorders (Fredrickson tube) is not enough to meet the diet.

To reduce total and LDL-C in patients with hypercholesteroline hypercholesterol (HEFH) in the form of drugs that support other lipid lowering treatments (for example, LDL filter (LDL Apheresis)) or if such treatments are not available.

In the form of a supportive drug for a diet to reduce total C concentration, LDL-C and APO B in pediatric patients, from 10-17 years old, suffer from hyperlested blood cholesterol (HEFH) after trying the appropriate diet, there are the following findings:

a. LDL-C still has ≥ 190 mg/dl or

b. LDL-C still has ≥ 160 mg/dl and:

• Having a family history of CVD early or

• There are two other or more CVD risk factors in pediatric patients.

Restrictions for use

Atorvastatin has not been studied in conditions when lipoprotein abnormalities are mainly increased chylomicron (Fredrickson tube and V).
