Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that relaxes blood vessels, making it easier for blood to flow. Enalapril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor that also helps relax blood vessels and reduce blood pressure by blocking the production of angiotensin II, a hormone that causes blood vessels to constrict.

Store the medication at room temperature, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep it out of reach of children.
