Considering the patient's condition of hypertension and the medications they are currently taking, which of the following best explains the rationale for prescribing both amlodipine and lisinopril together?
Amlodipine is primarily used to manage viral sinusitis symptoms, while lisinopril is for hypertension. The combination prevents the side effects associated with each drug when used alone. Both drugs act on the same pathway, enhancing the overall effect on blood pressure reduction. Combining amlodipine and lisinopril provides additive antihypertensive effects by targeting different pathways.
