Redupres Am 5/80mg Tablet

Redupres AM 5/80mg Tablet is a combination medication that contains two active ingredients: amlodipine & valsartan. It is available in tablet form and is prescribed for the management of hypertension (high blood pressure).

Active Ingredients:

• Amlodipine: Amlodipine belongs to the class of medications known as calcium channel blockers. It works by relaxing the blood vessels, thereby improving blood flow and reducing blood pressure.
• Valsartan: Valsartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). It works by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a substance in the body that causes blood vessels to constrict, thus lowering blood pressure.

Uses:

Redupres AM 5/80mg Tablet is prescribed for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure). It helps to lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of complications associated with hypertension, such as heart attack, stroke, and kidney problems.

Mechanism of Action:

• Amlodipine blocks calcium channels in the blood vessels, leading to vasodilation (widening of blood vessels) and reduced peripheral resistance, which results in lowered blood pressure.
• Valsartan blocks the action of angiotensin II on its receptors, preventing the constriction of blood vessels and thereby reducing blood pressure.
