Delapril and Manidipine |
Fixed dose combination of delapril, an inhibitor of the angiotensin conversion enzyme, and manidipine, a dyhydropyridine calcium-antagonist with antihypertensive activity and nephroprotecting properties. The combination of these active ingredients through complementary mechanisms of action produces a synergistic antihypertensive effect, reducing blood pressure in a greater measure than with the single constituents. |
