Amlovas VS Tablet combines Amlodipine Besilate (5 mg), a calcium channel blocker, with Valsartan (80 mg), an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), to provide a dual-action therapy for hypertension (high blood pressure). This combination is formulated to offer better blood pressure control in patients who need more than one agent to reach target levels.

Amlodipine relaxes blood vessels, reducing vascular resistance and improving blood flow, while Valsartan blocks the effects of angiotensin II, preventing vasoconstriction and sodium retention. Together, they help lower blood pressure efficiently, reduce cardiac workload, and protect organs such as the heart and kidneys. This combination is ideal for patients at risk of cardiovascular complications due to uncontrolled hypertension.
