Product Details

Newday Tablets 10/160mg contain a combination of Amlodipine Besilate and Valsartan, two antihypertensive agents that work together to manage high blood pressure. Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker, relaxes the blood vessels, while Valsartan, an angiotensin II receptor antagonist, helps in lowering blood pressure by blocking the effects of angiotensin, a substance that causes blood vessels to tighten. This dual action allows Tablets 10/160mg to effectively reduce high blood pressure, providing better control than either component alone.

Purposes

Newday Tablets 10/160mg are primarily prescribed to manage hypertension, reducing the risk of complications like stroke, heart attack, and kidney problems. The combination of Amlodipine and Valsartan helps to relax blood vessels and maintain optimal blood pressure levels. By improving blood flow, Tablets 10/160mg ensure that your heart doesn’t have to work as hard, making it a valuable option for long-term blood pressure control.

Warnings

Before taking Newday Tablets 10/160mg, it is important to monitor potassium levels, especially if you are using potassium supplements or potassium-sparing diuretics. In rare cases, valsartan can cause angioedema, which involves swelling of the face, lips, or throat. If this occurs, discontinue the medication immediately and seek medical attention. Additionally, amlodipine has not been proven effective for hypertensive crises, so it should not be used in emergencies without medical guidance.

Adverse Effects

The most common side effects of Tablets 10/160mg include dizziness, fatigue, headaches, and peripheral edema (swelling of the legs or hands). Some patients may experience nasopharyngitis or gastrointestinal discomfort. In rare instances, it can cause low potassium levels or angioedema, a serious allergic reaction characterized by swelling of the face, throat, or limbs.

Cautions

Patients with severe liver problems, kidney disorders, or a history of angioedema should use Tablets 10/160mg with caution. Regular monitoring of kidney function and electrolyte levels is recommended, especially for those with renal artery stenosis. If you experience unusual swelling, difficulty breathing, or changes in your heartbeat, consult your doctor immediately for further advice.
