Sofvasc-HCT 5/160/12.5mg – 28 Tablets | Triple-Action Blood Pressure & Heart Support

Sofvasc-HCT Tablets

Sofvasc-HCT is a combination medication containing Amlodipine 5mg, Valsartan 160mg, and Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5mg. This triple-action therapy effectively controls high blood pressure (hypertension). Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker, relaxes blood vessels; Valsartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), prevents blood vessel constriction; and Hydrochlorothiazide, a thiazide diuretic, reduces fluid retention. Together, they lower blood pressure, reduce strain on the heart, and help prevent cardiovascular complications.
