Used For:

• Co-Amstan is primarily used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure).

  • It may also be used for patients who need combination therapy to control their blood pressure.

• Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that relaxes the blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily.
• Valsartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that also relaxes blood vessels by preventing angiotensin II from tightening them.
• Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) is a thiazide diuretic (water pill) that helps remove excess salt and water from the body, reducing fluid buildup and lowering blood pressure.
