Biforge (10/160Mg) 30 Tablets
High-dose amlodipine-valsartan combination for intensive blood pressure control in resistant hypertension.
Biforge 10/160mg is a fixed-dose combination of Amlodipine 10mg and Valsartan 160mg, providing maximal dual therapy for blood pressure control. This combination offers complementary mechanisms: amlodipine's calcium channel blockade provides vasodilation and afterload reduction, while valsartan's angiotensin II receptor blockade prevents vasoconstriction and reduces aldosterone secretion. The 10/160mg strength represents higher-dose combination therapy for patients requiring intensive blood pressure reduction who have not achieved adequate control with lower-dose combinations or monotherapy.
Purpose
Treatment of essential hypertension not adequately controlled on lower-dose combinations or monotherapy, intensive blood pressure reduction in high-risk patients, reduction of cardiovascular event risk.
Ingredients
Amlodipine Besylate equivalent to Amlodipine 10mg, Valsartan 160mg
