Description

Covance-H 5mg/160mg/12.5mg Tablets contain Amlodipine + Valsartan + Hydrochlorothiazide and are made by Ferozsons Laboratories. Valsartan relaxes and widens blood vessels by blocking the hormone angiotensin II, which lowers blood pressure and reduces strain on the heart. Amlodipine relaxes blood vessel walls and hydrochlorothiazide removes extra salt and water. The three medicines together give strong blood pressure control in one tablet. You can order it online from Divine Medicines with home delivery across Lahore.
