Description:
Sacvin 49/51mg is a combination medication containing Amlodipine 5mg and Valsartan 51mg. It is used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension) and support heart health. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that relaxes blood vessels to improve blood flow, while Valsartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that lowers blood pressure by preventing blood vessel constriction.
