Description
About Valtec AMH 10/160/25mg Tablet
Valtec AMH 10/160/25mg Tablet is an advanced triple fixed-dose antihypertensive containing Amlodipine 10mg (CCB), Valsartan 160mg (ARB), and Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) 25mg (thiazide diuretic). It is indicated for patients with severe or resistant hypertension who require intensive, three-pathway blood pressure management in a single once-daily tablet.
The higher HCTZ dose of 25mg provides stronger diuretic action compared to the 12.5mg formulation, further reducing circulating volume for patients who have not reached blood pressure goals with the lower-strength triple combination. Amlodipine widens arteries via calcium channel blockade, Valsartan interrupts renin-angiotensin vasoconstriction, and HCTZ 25mg amplifies volume reduction — delivering comprehensive antihypertensive coverage. This combination helps reduce the long-term risk of stroke, myocardial infarction, and hypertensive nephropathy.
Important: Valsartan is contraindicated in pregnancy (Category D). Higher-dose HCTZ requires careful electrolyte monitoring (potassium, sodium, uric acid). This is a prescription-only (Rx) medicine.
