Improvement of essential hypertension and dyslipidemia (hypercholesterolemia, etc.)
This medication is used for patients with essential hypertension who struggle to achieve blood pressure control with monotherapy, as a combination of amlodipine and valsartan. The inclusion of atorvastatin also reduces the risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, vascular interventions, and angina in patients at high risk for cardiovascular diseases, and helps treat dyslipidemia. Atorvastatin is particularly effective for patients with hypercholesterolemia, mixed dyslipidemia, and genetic lipid disorders, and can be used when dietary therapy alone is insufficient or where alternative treatments are not feasible. This medication is used to effectively reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases by managing both blood pressure and blood lipid levels.
This medication is taken orally once daily as 1 tablet, with water. It is recommended to take it at the same time each day, if possible (e.g., in the morning). For the Amlodipine/Valsartan combination: - 5/80 mg: Administered to patients whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled with monotherapy of Amlodipine 5 mg or Valsartan 80 mg. - 5/160 mg: Administered to patients whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled with monotherapy of Amlodipine 5 mg or Valsartan 160 mg.
