Genaphed is a decongestant that shrinks blood vessels in the nasal passages. Dilated blood vessels can cause nasal congestion (stuffy nose).

Genaphed is used to treat nasal and sinus congestion, or congestion of the tubes that drain fluid from your inner ears, called the eustachian (yoo-STAY-shun) tubes.

Genaphed may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

• Generic Name: amlodipine / perindopril
• Dosage Forms: tablet
• Other Brand Names: Prestalia

Prestalia contains a combination of amlodipine and perindopril. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker. Amlodipine relaxes (widens) blood vessels and improves blood flow.

Perindopril is an ACE inhibitor. ACE stands for angiotensin converting enzyme. Perindopril also widens blood vessels and also prevents the body from retaining water.

Prestalia is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension).
