About Valtec AMH 10/160/12.5mg Tablet
Valtec AMH 10/160/12.5mg Tablet is a triple fixed-dose combination antihypertensive containing Amlodipine 10mg (calcium channel blocker, CCB), Valsartan 160mg (angiotensin II receptor blocker, ARB), and Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) 12.5mg (thiazide diuretic). It is indicated for patients with hypertension that is inadequately controlled on dual therapy, providing three complementary mechanisms in a single daily tablet.
Each component acts through a distinct pathway: Amlodipine dilates peripheral arteries; Valsartan blocks the renin-angiotensin system at the receptor level; and HCTZ 12.5mg promotes renal sodium and water excretion, reducing circulating volume and lowering blood pressure. Together, they deliver powerful, sustained antihypertensive control with reduced side effects compared to higher doses of individual agents. This combination helps protect against stroke, heart attack, and hypertension-related kidney damage.
Important: Valsartan is contraindicated in pregnancy (Category D). HCTZ may affect electrolyte balance — regular potassium monitoring is advised. This is a prescription-only (Rx) medicine. Browse our Anti-Hypertensive collection and the full Tablets and Capsules range at Derma.pk.
