Efficacy & effects

Improvement of blood pressure control in essential hypertension

  • Essential hypertension
View approved original text

This medicine is used for patients with essential hypertension where blood pressure is not sufficiently controlled by amlodipine or valsartan alone. The two drugs work together to effectively lower blood pressure, helping to manage hypertension. This reduces the risk of cardiovascular complications and improves overall health. Therefore, this medicine is effective for blood pressure control.
