This drug is a combination product containing Amlodipine and Valsartan, and is particularly suitable for patients with essential hypertension whose blood pressure is not controlled by single agents. Additionally, the Atorvastatin component reduces the risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, vascular surgeries, and angina in patients with a high risk of cardiovascular disease, and it also helps in the treatment of dyslipidemia. Atorvastatin is effective in controlling cholesterol levels in patients with hypercholesterolemia and mixed dyslipidemia, and is used especially when dietary response is insufficient. This drug improves cardiovascular health by managing blood pressure and blood lipid levels together.
