Hypertension and Heart Diseases

Brand Name: Avsar

Generic Name: Valsartan and Amlodipine

Dosage Strength: 80mg Valsartan and 5mg Amlodipine

Manufacturer: PharmaevoPharmaceutical (Pvt) Ltd.

Packing: 14 Tablets

Description and Usage:

Avsar is a combination medication containing two active ingredients: Valsartan and Amlodipine. Valsartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), which works by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a hormone that constricts blood vessels, leading to relaxation and widening of blood vessels, thus lowering blood pressure. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that works by relaxing and dilating blood vessels, thereby reducing blood pressure and improving blood flow.

Brand Name: Ascard

Generic Name: Aspirin

Dosage Strength: 75mg

Manufacturer: Atco Pharmaceutical (Pvt) Ltd.

Packing: 30 Tablets

Description and Usage:

Ascard is a brand name for a medication containing Aspirin in 75mg tablets. Aspirin, also known as acetylsalicylic acid, is a common over-the-counter medication used for various purposes. At a low dose of 75mg, it is often used for its antiplatelet properties, which means it helps prevent blood clots from forming by inhibiting the aggregation of platelets in the blood. This makes it particularly useful for preventing cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes in individuals at risk.

Brand Name: Tenormin

Generic Name: Atenolol

Dosage Strength: 25mg

Manufacturer: Lucky Core Industries Limited

Packing: 21 Tablets

Description and Usage:

Tenormin is a brand name for a medication that contains the active ingredient atenolol. Atenolol is a beta-blocker, a type of medication commonly used to treat conditions related to the heart and blood vessels.

Atenolol is a selective beta-1 receptor blocker. It works by blocking the effects of the hormone epinephrine (adrenaline), specifically on beta-1 receptors located in the heart. This results in a reduction of heart rate and force of contraction, leading to decreased blood pressure.

Brand Name: Zestril

Generic Name: Lisinopril

Dosage Strength: 10mg

Manufacturer: Lucky Core Industries Limited

Packing: 14 Tablets

Description and Usage:

Zestril is a brand name for the medication containing the active ingredient lisinopril. Lisinopril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor used primarily for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) and other cardiovascular conditions.

Zestril 10mg tablets contain lisinopril, which is an ACE inhibitor. ACE inhibitors work by blocking the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, a substance that narrows blood vessels and releases hormones that can elevate blood pressure. By inhibiting this process, lisinopril helps to relax blood vessels, reduce blood pressure, and improve overall heart function.

Zestril is indicated for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) and can also be prescribed for heart failure and post-myocardial infarction (heart attack) in certain situations.

Brand Name: Coversam

Generic Name: Perindopril tert-butylamine and Amlodipine besilate

Dosage Strength: 8mg Perindopril tert-butylamine and 5mg Amlodipine besilate

Manufacturer: Servier Pakistan

Packing: 10 Tablets

Description and Usage:

Coversam is a combination medication that contains two active ingredients: perindopril tert-butylamine and amlodipine besilate. This combination is designed to address hypertension (high blood pressure) by targeting different mechanisms involved in blood pressure regulation.

Coversam 8mg/5mg tablets combine two active ingredients with different mechanisms of action to help control blood pressure. Perindopril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor that works by relaxing blood vessels, while amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that dilates blood vessels and reduces the workload on the heart.

Brand Name: Coversyl

Generic Name: Perindopril tert-butylamine

Dosage Strength: 2mg

Manufacturer: Servier Pakistan.

Packing: 10 Tablets

Description and Usage:

Coversyl is a brand name for a medication containing the active ingredient perindopril tert-butylamine. It is commonly used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and other cardiovascular conditions.

Coversyl 2mg tablets contain perindopril tert-butylamine, which is an ACE inhibitor. The active ingredient, perindopril, works by inhibiting the action of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). ACE is involved in the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, a substance that narrows blood vessels and releases hormones that can elevate blood pressure.

By blocking ACE, Coversyl helps relax blood vessels, reducing the production of angiotensin II, and consequently lowering blood pressure. This effect makes it an effective medication for managing hypertension.

Brand Name: Labetalol

Generic Name: Labetalol HCL

Dosage Strength: 100mg

Manufacturer: ZAFA Pharmaceutical (Pvt) Ltd.

Packing: 20 Tablets

Description and Usage:

Labetalol hydrochloride (HCl) is a medication commonly used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It belongs to a class of drugs known as beta-blockers, and it also has alpha-blocking properties. Labetalol helps to lower blood pressure by reducing the effects of certain natural chemicals in the body that constrict blood vessels and stimulate the heart.

Labetalol is primarily used for the management of hypertension (high blood pressure).

It may be prescribed alone or in combination with other antihypertensive medications.

Labetalol works by blocking the effects of adrenaline on the heart and blood vessels. It dilates blood vessels, reducing peripheral resistance, and also slows down the heart rate.
