Daktarin 2% Cream 15g

Daktarin 2% Cream 15g combines three active ingredientsᅳamlodipine, valsartan, and hydrochlorothiazideᅳthat work together to control high blood pressure (hypertension). Amlodipine works by relaxing blood vessels, valsartan helps to lower blood pressure by blocking specific receptors, and hydrochlorothiazide removes excess fluid from the body. Belongs to the calcium antagonist class, angiotensin II (Ang II) antagonist class and thiazide diuretics in drug class. While this medication is effective in managing hypertension, it may cause many side effects such as dizziness, nausea, or fatigue. It's important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and follow your doctor's advice closely.

Daktarin 2% Cream 15g is indicated for the treatment of hypertension in patients whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled by monotherapy.
