This brand name is authorized in Nigeria
The drug MARCNOL contains a combination of these active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs):
1
Amlodipine
UNII 864V2Q084H - AMLODIPINE BESYLATE
|
Amlodipine is a calcium ion influx inhibitor of the dihydropyridine group (slow channel blocker or calcium ion antagonist) and inhibits the transmembrane influx of calcium ions into cardiac and vascular smooth muscle. |
2
Ramipril
UNII L35JN3I7SJ - RAMIPRIL
|
Ramiprilat, the active metabolite of the prodrug ramipril, inhibits the enzyme dipeptidylcarboxypeptidase I (synonyms: angiotensin-converting enzyme; kininase II). In plasma and tissue this enzyme catalyses the conversion of angiotensin I to the active vasoconstrictor substance angiotensin II, as well as the breakdown of the active vasodilator bradykinin. Reduced angiotensin II formation and inhibition of bradykinin breakdown lead to vasodilatation. |
