Description
What is Valsar M 10/160mg Tab?
Valsar M 10/160mg Tab is a combination antihypertensive tablet containing Amlodipine 10mg (calcium channel blocker) and Valsartan 160mg (angiotensin II receptor blocker / ARB), prescribed for the management of high blood pressure (hypertension) and reduction of cardiovascular risk. Available at Am Telsan 10/80mg Tab for another CCB+ARB option.
How Does Valsar M 10/160mg Work?
Amlodipine blocks calcium entry into vascular smooth muscle cells, causing vasodilation and reduced peripheral resistance. Valsartan selectively blocks angiotensin II at the AT1 receptor, preventing vasoconstriction and aldosterone release. The dual mechanism provides additive blood pressure reduction and end-organ protection.
Uses of Valsar M 10/160mg
Indicated for essential hypertension in adults who require combination therapy; also used to reduce the risk of fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular events including stroke and myocardial infarction in high-risk hypertensive patients. Patients already controlled on separate Amlodipine and Valsartan may switch to this fixed-dose combination for improved adherence. See also Valsar M 5/160mg Tab for the lower Amlodipine dose option.
