Efficacy & effects

Improvement in blood pressure control of essential hypertension through the combination of amlodipine and valsartan

  • Essential hypertension
View approved original text

This medication can be used for essential hypertension that is not sufficiently controlled by monotherapy with amlodipine or valsartan alone. It effectively lowers blood pressure in patients whose blood pressure cannot be controlled by basic treatment, thereby helping to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

How to take

Adult dose

The recommended dosage of this medication is 1 tablet once daily, taken with water regardless of meals. It is advised to take it at the same time every day (e.g., in the morning) if possible.

Child dose

The safety and efficacy of this medication in pediatric patients under 18 years of age have not been established, so its use is not recommended.

Precautions

This medication can cause serious harm to the fetus and neonate during pregnancy, especially in the second and third trimesters, so it should be discontinued immediately upon confirmation of pregnancy. It should not be administered to patients with allergies to the active ingredient or similar components, pregnant or nursing women, patients with severe kidney or liver dysfunction, and patients with specific heart diseases. Before administration, conditions should be corrected in patients with low sodium or fluid levels, and blood pressure and symptoms should be closely monitored during treatment. Patients with high potassium levels or kidney function issues should be cautious when taking this medication along with potassium-related medications, as potassium levels may increase, and regular blood tests are necessary. If signs of angioedema (swelling of the face, lips, tongue, etc.) occur, drug administration should be stopped immediately, and re-administration is prohibited. Patients with heart failure or post-myocardial infarction should pay attention to changes in kidney function and hypotension during treatment, and regular kidney function tests are necessary. This medication is used for the treatment of hypertension and may rarely cause various side effects such as headache, dizziness, edema, fatigue, and gastrointestinal discomfort. Caution should be exercised when driving or operating machinery, as dizziness or fatigue may occur. Interactions may occur when taken with other drugs, so consultation with a physician or pharmacist is advised, especially when taken with potassium supplements, diuretics, NSAIDs, and certain antibiotics. It is safer not to use this medication in patients who are planning to become pregnant, are pregnant, or are nursing. It is not recommended for children as its safety and efficacy have not been sufficiently established. For the elderly, the same dosage as for adults is recommended, but careful observation is needed depending on the condition. In case of overdose, severe hypotension or cardiac issues may occur, so immediate medical attention is required, and appropriate emergency treatment should be administered if necessary.
