Final answer:
The correct pairing of a Calcium Channel Blocker (CCB) with an Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, both used for treating hypertension, is Amlodipine (a CCB) and Lisinopril (an ACE inhibitor), which is option C.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student has asked about the combination of Calcium Channel Blockers (CCBs) and Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, specifically referencing drugs ending with 'dipine' and 'pril'. Given the potential options:
A) Nifedipine and captopril
B) Diltiazem and enalapril
C) Amlodipine and lisinopril
D) Verapamil and ramipril
The correct answer pairs an ACE inhibitor with a CCB, wherein 'pril' indicates an ACE inhibitor and 'dipine' signifies a CCB. Amlodipine is a CCB and lisinopril is an ACE inhibitor, making Option C the correct answer. These medications are often prescribed to treat conditions such as hypertension (high blood pressure). Amlodipine is found under brand names like Norvasc and Lisinopril is known by Prinivil or Zestril.
