About S-AmlodipineCalcium Channel Blocker (dihydropyridine class), Anti hypertensive,anti angina.Mechanism of Action of S-AmlodipineS-Amlodipine, which is an enantiomer of Amlodipine; is a dihydropyridine Ca2+ channel blocker. It exerts it`s antihypertensive action through blocking the influx of Ca2+ ions through voltage gated L-type Calcium channels to the peripheral vascular smooth muscle cells, Coronary smooth muscle cells and to the myocardial cells and causes dilatation of vascular endothelium, decrease peripheral resistance, & reduce myocardial oxygen demand and improves oxygen supply to myocardial cells. It directly dilates vascular smooth muscle and reduces hypertension.Pharmacokinets of S-AmlodipineN/AOnset of Action for S-AmlodipineN/ADuration of Action for S-AmlodipineN/AHalf Life of S-AmlodipineN/ASide Effects of S-Amlodipine1.Headache

About LisinoprilDicarboxylate-containing Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (ACE) Inhibitor, Antihypertensive.Mechanism of Action of LisinoprilIt is an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor prevents the conversion of angiotensin-1 to angiotensin-2 and abolishes the pressor actions of angiotensin. It decreases aldosterone secretion, sodium and water retention, and total peripheral resistance, leads to fall in BP. The arterioles dilate and the compliance of larger arteries is increased. Both systolic and diastolic BP is lowered. It has no effect on cardiac output and cardiovascular reflexes. There is little dilatation of capacitance vessels; so postural hypotension is not a problem. The drug does not compromise renal, cerebral, and coronary blood flow. BP lowering depending up on sodium status and renin angiotensin activity. So greater fall in BP occurs in Reno vascular accelerated and malignant hypertension. The drug also increases plasma kinin levels and potentiate the hypotensive action of exogenously administered bradykinin. It is used for treatment of systolic heart failure, because it improves symptoms, decrease mortality and reduce ventricular hypertrophy. It reduces both preload and after load and thus increasing cardiac out put in patients with heart failure.Pharmacokinets of LisinoprilAbsorption: Slowly absorbed orally about 25%.
Distribution: Widely distributed, but poor brain penetration.
Metabolism: Not metabolized in the body.
Excretion: Excreted unchanged in urine.
