What is Ziac a combination of?

bisoprolol/hctz
Triamterent/HCTZ
Amlodipine/Norvasc
Enalapril/Vasotec

The correct answer is: bisoprolol/hctz

Ziac is a combination medication that consists of bisoprolol and hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ). Bisoprolol is a beta-blocker that helps lower blood pressure by blocking the effects of adrenaline on the heart. Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic that helps reduce the amount of water in the body by increasing urine production, thus lowering blood pressure. Therefore, option A is correct as it correctly identifies the components of Ziac. Option B (Triamterene/HCTZ) is incorrect as Triamterene is not part of Ziac. Option C (Amlodipine/Norvasc) is also incorrect as Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker, not present in Ziac. Option D (Enalapril/Vasotec) is incorrect as Enalapril is an ACE inhibitor, not found in Ziac.
