Amlovas VS Tablet combines Amlodipine Besilate (10 mg), a calcium channel blocker, with Valsartan (160 mg), an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), to provide a potent dual-action therapy for hypertension (high blood pressure). This combination is designed to lower blood pressure more effectively than monotherapy, reduce the risk of cardiovascular events, and protect vital organs such as the heart and kidneys.

Amlodipine works by relaxing blood vessels, which decreases vascular resistance and improves blood flow, while Valsartan blocks the effects of angiotensin II, preventing blood vessel constriction and water retention. Together, they provide comprehensive blood pressure control, reduce strain on the heart, and improve overall cardiovascular health. This combination is particularly beneficial for patients whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled by a single medication.
