Description

Redupres-AM 10/160mg is a higher-strength combination cardiovascular medication manufactured by NABIQASIM Industries, formulated with Amlodipine 10mg and Valsartan 160mg in each tablet. This pack contains 14 tablets and is designed for patients with more significant hypertension who require a stronger dual-action approach to blood pressure management. Amlodipine works as a calcium channel blocker, relaxing blood vessels to improve blood flow, while Valsartan, an angiotensin receptor blocker, prevents a hormone called angiotensin II from narrowing blood vessels. This higher-strength combination provides robust blood pressure control for patients whose condition has not responded sufficiently to lower doses.

Ingredients

Each tablet of Redupres-AM 10/160mg contains Amlodipine 10mg and Valsartan 160mg as active ingredients. The formulation also includes standard pharmaceutical excipients that support tablet stability, structure, and consistent absorption in the body.

Dosage Form

Redupres-AM is available as an oral tablet, combining 10mg Amlodipine and 160mg Valsartan in a single dose. The pack includes 14 tablets, intended for use as directed by a healthcare provider.

Uses

Redupres-AM 10/160mg is commonly prescribed for:

• Managing moderate to severe high blood pressure not adequately controlled by lower-dose therapy
• Providing stronger combined calcium channel blocker and ARB action for enhanced blood pressure control
• Supporting long-term cardiovascular risk reduction in patients with more difficult-to-control hypertension
• Assisting patients who require a higher-strength dual-mechanism therapy for optimal blood pressure management

This medication should only be used for conditions diagnosed and confirmed by a qualified physician.

How to Use

Redupres-AM tablets should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor, typically once daily at the same time each day. It can be taken with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water; avoid crushing or chewing unless advised otherwise. Do not stop taking this medication abruptly without medical guidance, as consistent use is essential for maintaining stable blood pressure control.

Side Effects

Some patients may experience side effects while taking Redupres-AM, including:

• Dizziness
• Swelling in the ankles or feet
• Headache
• Fatigue

In rare cases, signs of a serious reaction such as swelling of the face or throat, severe dizziness, or fainting may occur, requiring immediate medical attention.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Redupres-AM should not be used during pregnancy, as Valsartan can cause serious harm to the developing fetus, particularly in the second and third trimesters. It is also advised to avoid this medication while breastfeeding unless specifically directed by a physician. Women who are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or nursing should consult their doctor immediately regarding safer alternatives.

Storage Instructions
