Product Details

Valtec-Am Tablets 10/160mg combine two effective antihypertensive agents, Amlodipine Besilate and Valsartan, in one convenient tablet. Each tablet contains 10mg of Amlodipine Besilate and 160mg of Valsartan. This powerful combination leverages the unique mechanisms of both drugs to achieve superior blood pressure control. Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker, works to relax blood vessels, while Valsartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker, prevents blood vessel constriction, leading to a more significant reduction in blood pressure.

Purposes

The primary purpose of Valtec-Am Tablets is to manage hypertension. The synergistic effect of Amlodipine and Valsartan provides an additive antihypertensive response, offering enhanced control over high blood pressure compared to either drug alone. This combination therapy is particularly beneficial for patients who require more comprehensive blood pressure management.

Warning’s

Valtec-Am Tablets 160mg should not be used by individuals with known hypersensitivity to Amlodipine, Valsartan, or any of the tablet’s excipients. It is contraindicated in patients with severe hepatic impairment, biliary cirrhosis, or cholestasis. Additionally, caution is advised when used with potassium supplements or potassium-sparing diuretics due to the risk of elevated potassium levels.

Adverse Effects

Common side effects of Valtec-Am 10/160mg may include nasopharyngitis, headache, and peripheral edema. Other less frequent effects include dizziness, abdominal discomfort, and rash. Rare but severe side effects, such as angioedema, require immediate discontinuation of the medication. Monitoring for these adverse effects is crucial to ensure patient safety.

Cautions

Patients using Valtec-Am 160mg should exercise caution if they have renal artery stenosis or a solitary kidney, as these conditions may lead to increased blood urea and serum creatinine levels. The medication should also be used with care in individuals with a history of angioedema. Regular monitoring and consultation with a healthcare provider are essential to manage potential side effects and ensure safe usage.
