VONADAY Tablet is a medication primarily used to treat and manage hypertension (high blood pressure) and to reduce the risk of stroke or heart attack. It combines two effective medications to help lower blood pressure and provide cardiovascular protection. VONADAY Tablet may also be prescribed for other cardiovascular-related conditions as determined by your healthcare provider.

Active Ingredients:

VONADAY Tablet contains two active ingredients:

1.Amlodipine – 5 mg

• A calcium channel blocker that helps to relax blood vessels, improving blood flow and reducing blood pressure.

2.Valsartan – 160 mg

• An angiotensin II receptor antagonist (ARB) that blocks the effects of a hormone that can constrict blood vessels, further lowering blood pressure and protecting the heart.

How Does VONADAY Tablet Work?

VONADAY Tablet works through the combined effects of amlodipine and valsartan:

• Amlodipine relaxes the smooth muscle of blood vessels, allowing them to widen, which lowers blood pressure and reduces the heart’s workload.
• Valsartan blocks the action of angiotensin II, a substance that causes blood vessels to constrict. By preventing this constriction, valsartan helps the blood vessels to remain open, lowering blood pressure and reducing the risk of heart failure and stroke.

Together, these medications work synergistically to provide effective control over high blood pressure and improve cardiovascular health.

Indications:

• Treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure).
• Prevention of stroke, heart attack, and other cardiovascular events in patients with high blood pressure or heart-related conditions.

Key Benefits:

• Improves overall heart health by relaxing blood vessels and reducing strain on the heart.

Common Side Effects:
