As previously mentioned, although it is not caused by influenza viruses, gastroenteritis is commonly referred to as the stomach flu because most people have acute symptoms that last a day or so, and then begin to resolve, like the symptoms of more benign flu strains.
And if you figured out that the decreased vascular resistance to blood flow translates into lower blood pressure, you'd be right. These are the basics, and you're up to speed.Amlodipine Besylate is used to treat high blood pressure. It should not be taken in combination with a blood thinner.
Amlodipine is a long-acting calcium channel blocker used as an anti-hypertensive, and in the treatment of angina. As with other calcium channel blockers, amlodipine acts by relaxing the smooth muscles in the arterial wall, decreasing peripheral resistance and hence improving blood pressure. In angina it improves blood flow to the myocardium. It was developed under the direction of Dr. Simon Campbell.
