Product Details
Valam Tablets 10/160mg combine two powerful antihypertensive agents, Amlodipine Besilate and Valsartan, to effectively manage high blood pressure. Each tablet provides a balanced dosage of 10mg Amlodipine Besilate and 160mg Valsartan, working together to enhance blood pressure control. This combination therapy leverages the complementary mechanisms of both drugs, offering a comprehensive approach to treating hypertension.
Purposes
The primary use of Valam Tablets is for the treatment of essential hypertension. By combining Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker, with Valsartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker, Valam Tabs 10/160mg provide an additive antihypertensive effect, resulting in more effective blood pressure reduction than either component alone. This dual-action approach helps to manage and stabilize blood pressure levels, improving overall cardiovascular health.
