Description:
Simbex 10/20mg is a combination medication containing Amlodipine 10mg and Valsartan 20mg. It is used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension) and support heart health. Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker, relaxes blood vessels to improve blood flow and reduce blood pressure. Valsartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), prevents blood vessel constriction. Together, they effectively control hypertension and lower the risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney complications.
