Pack Size: 14's

Manufactured By: Scotmann Pharmaceuticals

Used For:

Address Tablets are used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). The combination of Amlodipine (a calcium channel blocker) and Valsartan (an angiotensin II receptor blocker) helps lower blood pressure in the following ways:

1. Amlodipine: Relaxes blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood.
2. Valsartan: Blocks the action of certain chemicals that tighten blood vessels, lowering blood pressure and improving blood flow.

Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems.

Side Effects:

Common side effects include:

• Dizziness or lightheadedness
• Swelling of the ankles or feet (due to Amlodipine)
• Headache
• Fatigue
• Flushing

Less common but more serious side effects:

• Irregular heartbeat
• Severe dizziness or fainting
• Signs of kidney problems (such as changes in urine output)

Precautions:

1. Kidney and Liver Problems: Use with caution if you have kidney or liver issues, as both Amlodipine and Valsartan can affect these organs.
2. Low Blood Pressure (Hypotension): Be cautious if you are prone to low blood pressure, as the medication can cause further drops in blood pressure.
3. Pregnancy: Valsartan can harm an unborn baby, especially in the second and third trimesters. It is not recommended for use during pregnancy.
4. Interactions with Other Medications: Drugs like NSAIDs and other blood pressure medications may interact with this combination, affecting its efficacy.
5. Alcohol: Avoid excessive alcohol consumption as it can further lower your blood pressure and increase side effects like dizziness.
