Amlovas VS Tablet combines Amlodipine Besilate (5 mg), a calcium channel blocker, with Valsartan (160 mg), an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), to provide effective dual-action therapy for managing hypertension (high blood pressure). This combination is ideal for patients who require more than one medication to achieve optimal blood pressure control.

Amlodipine works by relaxing the blood vessels, reducing vascular resistance, and improving blood flow. Valsartan blocks the action of angiotensin II, preventing blood vessel constriction and sodium retention. Together, they lower blood pressure efficiently, reduce strain on the heart, and protect vital organs such as the heart and kidneys. This combination therapy helps prevent complications like stroke, heart attack, and kidney damage in hypertensive patients.
