Description

Description

Diasar 10/160mg is a combination tablet manufactured by Shaigan Pharmaceuticals, containing two active ingredients: Amlodipine and Valsartan. Amlodipine belongs to a class of medicines called calcium channel blockers, which relax and widen blood vessels, while Valsartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) that prevents a hormone called angiotensin II from narrowing blood vessels. This is the highest-strength formulation in the Diasar range, delivering greater doses of both components for patients requiring more intensive blood pressure control. Each pack contains 14 tablets. Diasar is available only with a valid prescription and should be used under proper medical supervision.

Ingredients

Each Diasar tablet contains Amlodipine 10mg and Valsartan 160mg as active ingredients, along with standard pharmaceutical excipients that support tablet formation, stability, and absorption. The formulation follows the quality standards maintained by Shaigan Pharmaceuticals.

Dosage Form

Diasar is available as an oral tablet, combining 10mg of Amlodipine and 160mg of Valsartan per tablet, supplied in a pack of 14 tablets.

Uses

Diasar 10/160mg is prescribed for the management of high blood pressure (hypertension) in patients who require higher doses of both Amlodipine and Valsartan to achieve adequate control. It is typically considered when blood pressure remains uncontrolled on lower-strength combinations. It is not intended as a first-line or starting therapy. The suitability of this specific strength for a patient should always be determined by a qualified healthcare provider based on their response to lower doses.

How to Use

Diasar should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor, usually once daily, with or without food, at the same time each day. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not discontinue this medicine abruptly without consulting your doctor, as this may cause blood pressure to rise again. Regular monitoring of blood pressure may be recommended, particularly when adjusting to this higher dose strength.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Diasar include dizziness, headache, fatigue, and swelling of the ankles or feet, which may be more noticeable at this higher dose strength. Some individuals may experience flushing or palpitations. Less commonly, signs of an allergic reaction such as facial swelling, low blood pressure, or changes in kidney function may occur. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience difficulty breathing, severe swelling, or signs of a serious allergic reaction.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Diasar should not be used during pregnancy, as the Valsartan component can cause serious harm to an unborn baby, particularly in the second and third trimesters. Women who are pregnant or planning pregnancy should inform their doctor immediately and discuss alternative treatment options. Use during breastfeeding should only occur under direct medical guidance.

Storage Instructions

Store Diasar tablets at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. Keep the medicine in its original packaging, tightly closed, and out of reach of children. Do not use tablets beyond their printed expiry date.
