Product Description
This product is a combination of two medicines: Valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide which lower blood pressure effectively. Valsartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB). It works by blocking the hormone angiotensin thereby relaxing blood vessels. This allows the blood to flow more smoothly and the heart to pump more efficiently. Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic that removes extra water and certain electrolytes from the body. Over time it also relaxes blood vessels and improves blood flow.
Dual Action for Hypertension ManagementThis combination tablet utilizes both Valsartan and Hydrochlorothiazide to provide comprehensive blood pressure control. Valsartan works by relaxing blood vessels, while Hydrochlorothiazide helps remove excess fluid from the body. Together, they address essential hypertension effectively, improving overall cardiovascular health.
Convenient and Safe Oral AdministrationDesigned for oral use, these tablets are easy to take, requiring only the dosage specified by your healthcare provider. The light orange, oval tablets come in secure blister packs, with clear dosage instructions, ensuring safe and convenient medication management for patients.
