ZORTAN AM TABLET is a combination of Amlodipine and Losartan, which belongs to the group of medicines called Anti-hypertensive agents. It is used primarily in the management of hypertension (to lower blood pressure) in stage 2 hypertensive patients. This medicine is used in adults and children the age of 6 years and above.
Hypertension is a condition where pressure is exerted on the walls of the blood vessels inside the body, making the heart difficult to pump blood out to other parts of the body. This leads to symptoms such as early morning headaches, nosebleeds, irregular heart rhythms, vision changes, and buzzing in the ears. More severe forms may cause chest pain and muscle tremors. If left unmanageed, hypertension can cause persistent chest pain (also called angina), heart attacks, heart failure, and an irregular heartbeat, which can also get life-threatening.
