Indications / Uses
VALCAMP is used for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure). It combines two medications, amlodipine and valsartan, to help lower blood pressure. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that relaxes and widens blood vessels, while valsartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that blocks a substance that causes blood vessels to tighten. This combination helps to improve blood flow and reduce the workload on the heart.
Ingredients: each tablet contains Amlodipine 5mg + Valsartan 80mg
