Avsar 10/160mg (28 Tablets)
Avsar 10/160mg is a potent combination medication formulated to manage essential hypertension (high blood pressure) in adults. This fixed-dose combination is typically prescribed when blood pressure is not sufficiently controlled by a single medication.
Key Active Ingredients
Avsar contains two powerful antihypertensive agents that work in different ways to lower blood pressure:
- Amlodipine (10mg): A calcium channel blocker that relaxes the muscles of your heart and blood vessels.
- Valsartan (160mg): An angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that prevents blood vessels from narrowing, which improves blood flow and lowers blood pressure.
Benefits of Avsar 10/160mg
By combining these two medicines, Avsar provides a "double action" approach to cardiovascular health:
- Effective BP Control: Helps achieve target blood pressure levels more effectively than monotherapy.
- Reduced Risk: Lowering blood pressure reduces the risk of serious cardiovascular events such as strokes and heart attacks.
- Convenient Dosing: Combines two treatments into one daily tablet, improving adherence.
How to Use
Avsar 10/160mg should be taken exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Usually, it is taken once daily with or without food. To ensure consistent blood pressure control, try to take it at the same time each day.
Side Effects and Precautions
Common side effects may include dizziness, headache, or mild swelling in the ankles (edema). Consult your doctor if these persist. It is important to inform your pharmacist or doctor if you are pregnant, as this medication is not recommended during pregnancy.
