Avsar Tablets 5/80mg

Avsar Tablets 5/80mg (Amlodipine + Valsartan) – 1 Box (2 Strips × 7 Tablets)

Requires Prescription

Yes, this medicine should be used only under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional.

Generic Name

Amlodipine Besilate, Valsartan

Used For

Used for the management of hypertension (high blood pressure).

How It Works

Avsar Tablets combine two antihypertensive agents with complementary actions. Amlodipine relaxes blood vessels by blocking calcium channels, while valsartan blocks angiotensin II receptors, preventing blood vessel constriction. Together, they help lower blood pressure more effectively than either medicine alone.
