Description
About Redupres AM Amlodipine Valsartan 5/80mg Tablets 14s
Redupres AM 5/80mg Tablets contain Amlodipine 5mg (calcium channel blocker, CCB) and Valsartan 80mg (angiotensin II receptor blocker, ARB). This is the lowest-strength formulation in the Redupres AM range, making it ideal for initiation of combination antihypertensive therapy or for patients with mild-to-moderate hypertension who need gentle dual-mechanism control. It is available as a 14-tablet pack for a fortnightly supply.
Amlodipine dilates arteries by blocking calcium entry into smooth muscle cells; Valsartan reduces blood pressure by blocking angiotensin II binding at AT1 receptors, preventing vasoconstriction and aldosterone release. The lower Valsartan dose (80mg) is appropriate for titration or in patients with mild renal impairment who need cautious dosing. Absolute contraindication: Valsartan must not be used during pregnancy — it causes foetal kidney damage and can be fatal to the foetus. Ankle swelling may occur with Amlodipine use. Monitor renal function and electrolytes. See the full antihypertensive medicines range and our cardiovascular medicines available in Pakistan.
