¿Qué es Amlodipine-Valsartan-Hctz?

Amlodipina-Valsartán-HCTZ es un medicamento combinado utilizado para el tratamiento de la hipertensión, que reduce eficazmente la presión arterial al utilizar los mecanismos complementarios de un bloqueador de los canales de calcio (amlodipina), un antagonista del receptor de angiotensina II (valsartán) y un diurético (hidroclorotiazida). Esta mezcla sinérgica ayuda a reducir el riesgo de eventos cardiovasculares como accidentes cerebrovasculares e infartos de miocardio en pacientes con presión arterial elevada.
