Unimax - a mix of two medicines: a blocker of the channel of the calcium, named felodipine and the ACE (the angiotensin transforming enzyme) an inhibitor, ramipril.

Unimax is used to consider a high blood pressure (hypertension).

Unimax combines two medicines which have various ways to work, and conducts to the greater downturn of a blood pressure in a lot of people than with any medicine, used one.

* Felodipine (see, Plendil) belongs to group of medicines named blockers of the channel of calcium:

o Felodipine interferes with calcium to enter and be let out within the limits of the cells of a muscle leveling small arteries of heart and other blood vessels of a body.

o Calcium is necessary for cells of a muscle to conclude the contract and on blood vessels to become narrowed. Blocking of transport of calcium forces muscles to relax, and arteries to extend and extend (expand).

o It - how felodipine reduces a blood pressure, expanding blood vessels.

o Felodipine has small or any effect on muscles of veins or hearts.

* Ramipril (see, Ramace) - ACE (enzyme transforming by angiotensin) an inhibitor, which blocks manufacture of a hormone (a chemical signal which carry in blood) named angiotensin II:

o Angiotensin II chemical which is made by a body which narrows blood vessels and thus lifts a blood pressure.

o the ACE - enzyme (chemical which operates other chemical reactions) in a body which is important for formation of angiotensin II.

o when the ACE is blocked ramipril, angiotensin cannot be transformed into its active form, angiotensin II.

o the Blood pressure comes to a relaxation and expansion of arteries.

It is very important to take medicines for a high blood pressure so frequently as your doctor has told to you even if you do not feel like patients. It - because the high blood pressure if not considered, can conduct progressively to illnesses of heart and blood vessels and finally to heavy disease, such as heart attack or impact.

Also it is important to follow any instructions of a way of life which your doctor has given you, similarly to attempt to throw smoking, reduction of your weight, performance of a lot of realization and meal of a healthy diet.
