I am using amlodipine besylate 10 mg once a day for high blood pressure a white pill with the numbers of 93 on one side and the numbers of 7168 on the other side. Could this medication be for treatment of only high blood pressure?
With the above medication i am also being giving irbesartan 300 mg. I read that one of these pills is also for the to protect my liver from damage due to having diabetes.

Hello, Torito! How are you?
Many medications have multiple medical uses. For instance, I take Atacand, which contains the active ingredient Candesartan, it is a blood pressure medication, but also helps improve cardiac function, which is why my doctor has prescribed it for me. I take a different one in a higher dose to control my blood pressure.
And yes, some are also known to have a protective effect on the kidneys for people that are diabetic.
Is there anything else I can help with?

I was told Amlodipine besylate 10 mg (ig 239) is a water pill, but that it's used for high blood pressure. My blood pressure is normal - I should have read this first. Now I'm nervous about unwanted side effects.
