📋 Product Specifications

How Avsar 5mg+80mg Tablet Works

Amlodipine relaxes and widens blood vessels by blocking calcium entry into their muscle cells, and valsartan blocks angiotensin II, a hormone that narrows blood vessels. Together, the two medicines lower blood pressure more than either one alone, which reduces the risk of stroke, heart attack and kidney damage.

Avsar 5mg+80mg Tablet Uses

•       Hypertension: lowers high blood pressure in adults

•       Add-On Therapy: for patients whose blood pressure is not controlled on amlodipine or valsartan alone

•       Replacement Therapy: replaces separate amlodipine and valsartan tablets at the same doses, cutting the daily pill count

Who Should Use Avsar 5mg+80mg Tablet

Adults with high blood pressure whose doctor has prescribed amlodipine 5 mg and valsartan 80 mg together. High blood pressure is common and often uncontrolled: the WHO estimates 1.28 billion adults aged 30-79 have hypertension and only about 1 in 5 have it under control, and the National Health Survey of Pakistan (1990-94) found it in 17.9% of adults and one in three people over 45.

🚫 Who Should Avoid It

•       Pregnancy: do not use; stop and contact your doctor as soon as pregnancy is detected

•       Allergy: to amlodipine, other dihydropyridines or valsartan

•       Aliskiren: do not combine with aliskiren in people with diabetes

•       Severe Liver Disease: or biliary obstruction, unless a doctor advises otherwise

•       Children and Breastfeeding: not for under-18s; not recommended while breastfeeding

💊 How to Take Avsar 5mg+80mg Tablet (Dosage)

1.     Take One Tablet Daily: Take one Avsar 5mg+80mg Tablet once a day, exactly as your doctor prescribed.

2.     Keep the Same Time: Take it at the same time each day to keep blood pressure steady.

3.     With or Without Food: Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water, with or without food.

4.     Check Your Blood Pressure: Measure your blood pressure at home and keep a log for your doctor.

5.     Do Not Stop Suddenly: Keep taking it even when you feel well; stop or change the dose only on your doctor's advice.

Your doctor may adjust the strength after 1-2 weeks; the maximum dose of amlodipine/valsartan is 10/320 mg once daily. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember on the same day. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed one; never take two tablets together.

⚠️ Side Effects

🛡️ Precautions and Drug Interactions

Tell your doctor about all medicines you take. Potassium supplements, potassium-containing salt substitutes and potassium-sparing diuretics can raise potassium levels. Painkillers such as ibuprofen (NSAIDs) can reduce the effect and strain the kidneys. Avoid combining with other RAS blockers such as ACE inhibitors or aliskiren unless a specialist advises it. Lithium levels need monitoring, simvastatin should not exceed 20 mg daily, and grapefruit juice can increase amlodipine levels. Dizziness can affect driving, especially in the first days of treatment.
