Valam 10/160mg Tablet – Dual Action Control for Hypertension
Valam 10/160mg Tablet is a combination antihypertensive medication containing Amlodipine 10mg (a calcium channel blocker) and Valsartan 160mg (an angiotensin II receptor blocker – ARB). It is used for the effective management of high blood pressure (hypertension), reducing the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney complications.
This dual-action formula relaxes blood vessels by different mechanisms: Amlodipine prevents calcium influx in vascular smooth muscles, while Valsartan blocks the action of angiotensin II, a hormone that narrows blood vessels.
