STARCAD SA 5MG TABLET belongs to a class of medication called anti-hypertensive agents primarily used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). Also, STARCAD SA 5MG TABLET is used to treat chest pain, irregular heart rhythm. Hypertension is a condition in which the force exerted by the blood against the artery walls becomes so high that it causes health problems, such as heart disease.
STARCAD SA 5MG TABLET is a combination of two drugs, namely: S-amlodipine (calcium channel blocker) and S-metoprolol (beta-blocker). S-amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that works by acting on muscle cells in the artery walls and relaxes the muscle. Thereby, it relaxes and widens arteries (blood vessels) and improves the blood flow and oxygen supply to the heart. S-metoprolol belongs to the beta-blockers class that works by blocking beta receptors in the heart and makes the heartbeat slow and with less force. Thereby, it decreases the pressure at which blood is pumped out of the heart and throughout the body. Thus, together they lower high blood pressure.

Blood pressure/Hypertension: Blood pressure is the measurement of the force that the heart uses to pump blood to all parts of the body. Hypertension is a chronic condition in which blood pressure is too high. This condition can lead to hardened arteries (blood vessels), decreasing the blood and oxygen flow to the heart. Raised blood pressure can cause chest pain (angina) and heart attack (when blood supply to the heart is blocked). Additionally, high blood pressure also causes brain damage (stroke) and kidney failure. High blood pressure can be diagnosed with the help of a blood pressure monitor or sphygmomanometer. Systolic pressure is the pressure when the heart pumps blood out. On the other hand, diastolic pressure is when your heart is at the resting stage between heartbeats. If your blood pressure is 140/90 mm of Hg, it means the systolic pressure is 140 mm of Hg and, diastolic pressure is 90 mm of Hg. Normal blood pressure lies in between 90/60 mm of Hg and 120/80 mm of Hg. If the blood pressure is 140/90 mmHg or greater, it is considered high blood pressure.
