Description

Avsar Plus 5/160/12.5mg is a film-coated triple-combination tablet manufactured by PharmaEvo, containing Amlodipine, Valsartan, and Hydrochlorothiazide as active ingredients. Each pack contains 28 tablets and is generally prescribed for adults with high blood pressure that has not been adequately controlled by dual therapy or by individual medicines used separately. This formulation brings together three distinct mechanisms of action: Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker that relaxes blood vessel walls; Valsartan, an angiotensin receptor blocker that prevents a hormone from narrowing blood vessels; and Hydrochlorothiazide, a mild diuretic that helps the body remove excess salt and water through urine. Combining all three allows for a more comprehensive, multi-pathway approach to blood pressure management, making Avsar Plus suitable for patients with more persistent or difficult-to-control hypertension. This medicine is typically prescribed as part of a carefully monitored treatment plan under the close supervision of a physician.

Ingredients

Avsar Plus 5/160/12.5mg contains three active ingredients: Amlodipine at a strength of 5mg, Valsartan at a strength of 160mg, and Hydrochlorothiazide at a strength of 12.5mg per tablet. The tablet also includes standard pharmaceutical excipients such as fillers, binding agents, and film-coating materials that support its shape, stability, and ease of swallowing. These inactive ingredients do not contribute to the therapeutic effect but are necessary for consistent manufacturing and storage quality.

Dosage Form

Avsar Plus 5/160/12.5mg is available as an oral film-coated tablet combining 5mg of Amlodipine, 160mg of Valsartan, and 12.5mg of Hydrochlorothiazide. The pack contains 28 tablets, generally supporting a full month’s supply when taken as a once-daily dose, as directed by the prescribing doctor.

Uses

Avsar Plus is primarily used for the management of high blood pressure in adults whose condition has not been sufficiently controlled through dual-combination therapy or single medications. By bringing together a calcium channel blocker, an angiotensin receptor blocker, and a diuretic, this medicine addresses blood pressure through three separate but complementary pathways, which can help patients with more resistant hypertension achieve better overall control. Maintaining blood pressure within a healthier range through this triple-action approach also contributes to reducing the long-term risk of complications such as stroke, heart attack, and kidney-related damage.

How to Use

Avsar Plus is generally taken once daily, at around the same time each day, with or without food, exactly as instructed by the prescribing physician. The tablet should be swallowed whole with a glass of water and should not be crushed or chewed. Because this medicine combines three active ingredients, it is especially important to take it exactly as prescribed and to avoid adjusting the dose without medical guidance, as this strength is typically reached only after a doctor has evaluated the response to simpler combinations. Some patients may notice a mild increase in urination due to the diuretic component, particularly during the early stages of treatment. Treatment should be continued consistently, even during periods of good blood pressure control, since stopping the medicine abruptly can allow blood pressure to rise again.

Side Effects

Side effects with Avsar Plus reflect the combined actions of its three components and may include dizziness, headache, and fatigue, particularly when treatment is started. Swelling in the ankles or feet, along with flushing or a warm sensation in the skin, is associated with the Amlodipine component, while increased urination, mild dehydration, or changes in electrolyte levels such as sodium and potassium may relate to the diuretic component, making periodic blood tests an important part of ongoing care. Other possible effects include nausea, muscle cramps, or a drop in blood pressure when standing up quickly, sometimes leading to lightheadedness. Signs of a serious allergic reaction, such as swelling of the face, lips, or throat, or an unusually fast or irregular heartbeat, should be treated as a medical emergency. Severe dizziness, fainting, or symptoms of significant electrolyte imbalance such as unusual weakness or confusion should be reported to a doctor promptly.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Avsar Plus should not be used during pregnancy, as the Valsartan component carries a known risk of harm to the developing baby, particularly during the second and third trimesters, and the diuretic component may further affect fluid balance during pregnancy. Anyone who becomes pregnant while taking this medicine should inform their doctor immediately so that treatment can be reviewed and changed without delay. Breastfeeding while using this medicine is also generally not recommended, as it is not well established how these active ingredients may affect a nursing infant. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should discuss safer treatment alternatives with their doctor before starting or continuing this medicine.

Storage Instructions

Avsar Plus tablets should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and excessive humidity, ideally at normal room temperature. Tablets should remain in their original packaging until ready for use to help preserve their effectiveness. As with all medicines, Avsar Plus must be stored out of the reach and sight of children.

FAQs

Why does this medicine combine three different ingredients?
Combining Amlodipine, Valsartan, and Hydrochlorothiazide allows three separate blood pressure-lowering mechanisms to work together, which can help patients with more resistant hypertension reach their target blood pressure.

Who is typically prescribed this triple-combination medicine?
It is generally prescribed for patients whose blood pressure remains above target despite treatment with dual-combination therapy, based on a doctor’s assessment.

Will I need regular blood tests while taking Avsar Plus?
Yes, periodic monitoring of kidney function, sodium, and potassium levels is generally recommended, given the diuretic component of this medicine.

What should I do if I miss a dose?
If a dose is missed, take it as soon as you remember, unless it is close to the time of your next dose, in which case skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule rather than doubling up.
