Product Details

Valtec-Am Tablets 5/160mg combine Amlodipine Besilate and Valsartan in a single tablet to effectively manage hypertension. Each tablet contains 5mg of Amlodipine Besilate and 160mg of Valsartan, offering a dual approach to controlling high blood pressure. Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker, helps relax blood vessels, while Valsartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker, prevents blood vessel constriction. Together, they work synergistically to enhance blood pressure reduction beyond the capabilities of either drug alone.

In addition to controlling high blood pressure, Valtec-Am 5/160mg are also used to address conditions such as heart failure and post-myocardial infarction with left ventricular dysfunction.
