About Co Valtec 160/25mg Tablet (28s)

Co Valtec 160/25mg Tablet is a dual-combination antihypertensive containing Valsartan 160mg and Hydrochlorothiazide 25mg. It is prescribed for patients with hypertension who need greater blood-pressure reduction than a single agent can provide, or for those already controlled on both agents separately who benefit from a fixed-dose combination for improved adherence.

Valsartan is an Angiotensin II Receptor Blocker (ARB) that selectively blocks AT1 receptors, preventing angiotensin II from causing vasoconstriction and aldosterone secretion — thereby dilating blood vessels and lowering blood pressure. Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) 25mg is a thiazide diuretic that reduces sodium and water reabsorption in the distal tubule, decreasing plasma volume and cardiac preload. Together, these complementary mechanisms produce robust, sustained BP reduction with a 28-tablet monthly pack. Available at derma.pk Anti-Hypertensive collection.

This is a prescription (Rx) medicine. Monitor electrolytes (potassium, sodium) during prolonged use due to the diuretic component. Available with nationwide delivery across Pakistan including Lahore, Karachi, and Islamabad.

Key Benefits

• Dual-mechanism BP control: ARB vasodilation plus diuretic volume reduction
• Valsartan blocks angiotensin II for sustained arterial dilation
• HCTZ 25mg eliminates excess sodium and fluid to reduce cardiac preload
• Reduces risk of stroke, heart attack, and renal complications
• Fixed-dose combination improves patient adherence
• 28-tablet strip — convenient one-month supply

How to Use

Take one tablet orally once daily with or without food, as prescribed. Take at the same time each day for consistent control. Monitor blood pressure regularly. Ensure adequate hydration; avoid excessive salt intake. Attend periodic blood tests to check electrolyte levels during long-term therapy. Do not discontinue without physician advice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is Co Valtec 160/25mg used for?
A: It treats high blood pressure using two complementary agents — Valsartan (ARB) blocks vasoconstriction and Hydrochlorothiazide (diuretic) reduces fluid volume.

Q: Why is the HCTZ dose 25mg in Co Valtec vs 12.5mg in Valtec AMH?
A: Co Valtec 160/25mg contains a higher diuretic dose for patients requiring more aggressive volume reduction. Your physician selects the appropriate strength based on your clinical response.

Q: Should I monitor anything while taking Co Valtec?
A: Yes — periodic monitoring of blood pressure, kidney function, and serum electrolytes (especially potassium) is recommended, particularly with the 25mg HCTZ dose.
