How does valsartan work?

Valsartan blocks the effects of angiotensin II, a hormone that constricts blood vessels and increases blood pressure. This results in wider blood vessels and lower blood pressure.

How does verapamil work?

Verapamil blocks calcium from entering heart cells. This slows down the heart rate and lowers blood pressure, because calcium plays a crucial role in muscle contraction.
