Description

Exval-A 10mg/160mg is an oral tablet from Genix Pharma representing the highest-strength combination within the Exval-A range, pairing Amlodipine 10mg with Valsartan 160mg in each tablet, supplied in a pack of 14 tablets. Both active components are increased to their higher commonly used strengths in this formulation, offering a more pronounced combined effect through two separate blood pressure control pathways — vessel relaxation from Amlodipine and hormone-pathway blockade from Valsartan. This strength is generally reserved for individuals whose blood pressure remains inadequately controlled on lower-dose combinations, and it is intended to be introduced only after careful assessment and monitoring by a physician, given the increased strength of both active ingredients working together.

Ingredients

Each Exval-A 10mg/160mg tablet contains Amlodipine at a strength of 10mg, its higher commonly prescribed dose for vessel relaxation, together with Valsartan at 160mg, providing a stronger level of hormone-pathway blood pressure control. The tablet also includes standard pharmaceutical-grade excipients for binding, coating, and stability, without contributing additional therapeutic action.

Dosage Form

Exval-A 10mg/160mg is supplied as an oral tablet, in a pack of 14 tablets, representing the highest-strength combination available within the Exval-A product range.

Uses

This highest-strength Exval-A formulation is generally used for individuals with more difficult-to-control high blood pressure, where lower-strength combinations of Amlodipine and Valsartan have not achieved the desired level of blood pressure management. It may be introduced as a step up following a period of treatment at a lower strength, based on a doctor’s assessment of blood pressure readings and overall response. As with other strengths in this range, it is used as part of a broader hypertension management plan that typically also includes lifestyle measures and regular monitoring.

How to Use

Exval-A 10mg/160mg should be taken exactly as directed by a physician, generally once daily, with or without food, and at a consistent time each day. The tablet should be swallowed whole with a glass of water and not crushed or chewed unless specifically advised. Given that this is the highest available strength in the range, reaching this dose is typically the outcome of a gradual, doctor-supervised increase, and any further adjustment should only be made under close medical guidance, with regular follow-up to assess ongoing suitability.

Side Effects

At this higher combined strength, Exval-A may cause the same general range of effects associated with lower doses, including dizziness, headache, fatigue, and swelling of the ankles or feet linked to the Amlodipine component, though these may be somewhat more noticeable at the higher dose. Changes in kidney function or elevated potassium levels associated with the Valsartan component may also be more closely monitored at this strength through periodic blood tests. Any severe, persistent, or unusual symptoms, including a marked drop in blood pressure causing dizziness or fainting, should be reported to a doctor promptly.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Exval-A 10mg/160mg must not be used during pregnancy, as Valsartan-containing medicines can cause serious harm to a developing baby, particularly during the second and third trimesters, and this risk applies at this higher strength as well. Women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant should inform their doctor immediately so that an alternative treatment can be arranged. Its use during breastfeeding should also be discussed with a healthcare provider beforehand, as safety in this context has not been well established.

Storage Instructions

Store Exval-A 10mg/160mg tablets in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep them in their original packaging and store the pack securely out of reach of children and pets. Do not use tablets after the expiry date printed on the packaging.
