Valmo Plus 10/160/12.5mg Tablet

Valmo Plus 10/160/12.5mg Tablet is a combination medication containing three active ingredients: Amlodipine, Valsartan, & Hydrochlorothiazide. It is used in the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) to address different aspects of blood pressure regulation.

Active Ingredients:

• Amlodipine: A calcium channel blocker that relaxes and widens blood vessels, thereby improving blood flow and lowering blood pressure.
• Valsartan: An angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that blocks the action of angiotensin II, a substance that constricts blood vessels, leading to decreased blood pressure.
• Hydrochlorothiazide: A thiazide diuretic that helps the body remove excess salt and water by increasing urine production, which also helps lower blood pressure.

Uses:

Valmo Plus 10/160/12.5mg Tablet is indicated for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) in patients whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled with monotherapy.

Mechanism of Action:

• Amlodipine inhibits calcium influx into vascular smooth muscle cells, leading to vasodilation and reduced peripheral vascular resistance.
• Valsartan blocks the vasoconstrictor and aldosterone-secreting effects of angiotensin II, resulting in vasodilation and decreased blood pressure.
• Hydrochlorothiazide increases urinary sodium excretion, leading to decreased plasma volume and cardiac output, which in turn lowers blood pressure.

Take Valmo Plus 10/160/12.5mg Tablet orally with or without food, as directed by your healthcare provider. Follow the prescribed dosage and frequency of administration.
