How Amlodipine + Valsartan Works
Amlodipine and Valsartan have complementary mechanisms of action. Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker, inhibits calcium influx into vascular smooth muscle cells, leading to vasodilation and reduced peripheral resistance. Valsartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), blocks the vasoconstrictor and aldosterone-secreting effects of angiotensin II, further contributing to blood pressure reduction by relaxing blood vessels. Together, they provide an effective combination for the management of hypertension.
