1. What is Amlodipino/Valsartán Tevagen and what is it used for

Amlodipino/Valsartán Tevagencontains two substances called amlodipine and valsartan. Both substanceshelp control high blood pressure.

  • Amlodipine belongs to a group of substances called «calcium channel blockers». Amlodipine prevents calcium from entering the blood vessel wall, which prevents blood vessel constriction.
  • Valsartan belongs to a group of substances called «angiotensin II receptor antagonists». Angiotensin II is produced by the body and causes blood vessels to constrict, thereby increasing blood pressure. Valsartan acts by blocking the effect of angiotensin II.

This means that both substances help prevent blood vessel constriction. As a result, blood vessels relax and blood pressure decreases.

Amlodipino/Valsartán Tevagenis used to treat high blood pressure in adults whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled with amlodipine or valsartan alone.
