Reduction of essential hypertension and cardiovascular disease risk, improvement of dyslipidemia
This medication is used for patients who require the combined administration of amlodipine/valsartan and atorvastatin. The amlodipine/valsartan combination helps lower blood pressure effectively in patients with essential hypertension who have difficulty managing blood pressure with monotherapy. Meanwhile, atorvastatin reduces the risk of various cardiovascular diseases and is effective for treating hyperlipidemia. It particularly reduces the risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, and vascular interventions in patients with risk factors for coronary heart disease or those with type 2 diabetes, as well as lowers the risk of angina and hospitalizations due to congestive heart failure. Additionally, it is used to improve cholesterol and triglyceride levels in patients with dyslipidemia. Thus, this medication aids in managing blood pressure, cardiovascular diseases, and lipid disorders simultaneously.
This medication is taken once daily at a time that is as uniform as possible each day (e.g., in the morning) with water. For those receiving combined therapy with amlodipine/valsartan, it should be administered as follows if blood pressure is not adequately controlled by monotherapy: - 5/80 mg: Administered to patients whose blood pressure is not sufficiently regulated with either amlodipine 5 mg or valsartan 80 mg as monotherapy. - 5/160 mg:
