Description
Aprovasc 300/10mg Tablets are a powerful, fixed-dose combination medication specifically designed for the effective management of essential hypertension (high blood pressure). Each tablet contains 300mg of Irbesartan and 10mg of Amlodipine. This formulation is typically prescribed for adult patients whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled with monotherapy (treatment with a single medication) of either Irbesartan or Amlodipine alone.
- Irbesartan is an Angiotensin II Receptor Blocker (ARB). It works by blocking the action of a natural body substance called Angiotensin II, which causes blood vessels to narrow. By blocking this action, Irbesartan helps to relax blood vessels, leading to a reduction in blood pressure.
- Amlodipine is a Calcium Channel Blocker (CCB). It works by inhibiting the entry of calcium ions into the smooth muscle cells of blood vessels, causing them to relax and widen. This action also contributes to lowering blood pressure and improving blood flow.
The combination of Irbesartan and Amlodipine in Aprovasc 300/10mg provides a synergistic antihypertensive effect, targeting different pathways to lower blood pressure more effectively than either component alone. This helps to reduce the risk of serious cardiovascular complications such as stroke, heart attack, and kidney damage. Aprovasc 300/10mg offers the convenience of a single tablet taken once d
