Used primarily to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It helps relax blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more smoothly and the heart to work more efficiently. By lowering blood pressure, it reduces the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and kidney problems. Often prescribed as part of a long-term treatment plan and may be combined with other antihypertensive medications. Effective in both adult and elderly patients, with benefits seen in improved cardiovascular outcomes over time.
