Used For:
-
Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): This combination medication is prescribed to lower high blood pressure, reducing the risk of strokes, heart attacks, and other cardiovascular issues.
- Amlodipine: A calcium channel blocker that helps relax and widen blood vessels, improving blood flow.
- Valsartan: An angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that blocks substances that tighten blood vessels, also helping to relax them.
Side Effects:

- Serious Side Effects: Rare but may include fainting, irregular heartbeat, severe dizziness, chest pain, or signs of kidney problems (e.g., changes in urine output).
Precautions:
- Kidney or Liver Problems: Patients with kidney or liver issues should use this medication with caution, as it may require dosage adjustments.
- Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Not recommended during pregnancy, particularly in the second and third trimesters, due to the risk to the fetus. Consult a healthcare provider if breastfeeding.
- Low Blood Pressure (Hypotension): Patients prone to low blood pressure, dehydration, or electrolyte imbalances (e.g., from diuretics) should use this medication cautiously, as it can lower blood pressure further.
- Avoid Grapefruit Juice: Grapefruit can increase amlodipine levels in the blood, raising the risk of side effects.
