In what cases is amlodipine a better choice than lisinopril when treating for high blood pressure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
None : Lisinopril belongs to the class of Ace inhibitor drugs and has pleiotropic benefits. In addition to being anti- hypertertensive, it also effectuates + remodeling, is Reno-protective, and may decrease risk of developing diabetes . Amlodipine has none of these additional positive features.
