Description

Exval-A is an oral tablet manufactured by Genix Pharma, combining Amlodipine 5mg with Valsartan 80mg in each tablet, supplied in a pack of 14 tablets. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that works by relaxing and widening blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood through the body. Valsartan, on the other hand, belongs to a class of medicines called angiotensin receptor blockers, which work by blocking the action of a hormone that would otherwise narrow blood vessels, further supporting healthy blood pressure levels through a different mechanism. Combining these two approaches in one tablet allows for blood pressure management through two complementary pathways, which is often considered when blood pressure is not adequately controlled by either medicine alone. Exval-A is intended for use under medical supervision as part of an ongoing hypertension management plan.

Ingredients

Each Exval-A tablet contains two active ingredients: Amlodipine at a strength of 5mg, which relaxes blood vessel walls, and Valsartan at a strength of 80mg, which blocks a hormone pathway involved in blood vessel narrowing. The tablet also includes standard pharmaceutical-grade excipients used for binding, coating, and tablet formation, which support consistent dosing and shelf stability without contributing additional therapeutic effect.

Dosage Form

Exval-A is available as an oral tablet, supplied in a pack of 14 tablets, with each tablet delivering a fixed-dose combination of 5mg Amlodipine and 80mg Valsartan.

Uses

Exval-A is generally used for the management of high blood pressure, particularly in individuals whose blood pressure is not sufficiently controlled with a single antihypertensive medicine alone. By combining two different mechanisms of blood pressure control in one tablet, Exval-A can help achieve more consistent blood pressure readings while also simplifying a treatment routine that might otherwise involve taking two separate medicines. It may also be used as part of a broader plan to reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications associated with prolonged high blood pressure, as determined by a physician.

How to Use

Exval-A should be taken exactly as directed by a physician, typically once daily, with or without food, and ideally at the same time each day to support consistent blood pressure control. The tablet should be swallowed whole with a glass of water and should not be crushed or chewed unless specifically advised otherwise. Blood pressure should continue to be monitored regularly while on this medicine, and the dose should not be adjusted or the medicine stopped independently, even if blood pressure appears well controlled, without first consulting the prescribing doctor.

Side Effects

Exval-A may cause side effects in some individuals, including dizziness, headache, fatigue, or swelling of the ankles and feet, particularly linked to the Amlodipine component. Some patients may also experience a drop in blood pressure that causes lightheadedness, especially when standing up quickly. Less commonly, changes in kidney function or elevated potassium levels have been associated with Valsartan-containing medicines, which is why periodic blood tests may be recommended during treatment. Any severe, persistent, or unusual symptoms should be reported to a doctor promptly rather than managed independently.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Exval-A should not be used during pregnancy, as medicines containing Valsartan can cause serious harm to a developing baby, particularly during the second and third trimesters. Women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant should inform their doctor immediately so that an alternative treatment can be considered. 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

Exval-A tablets should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, excess heat, and moisture. Keep the tablets in their original packaging until ready for use, and store them securely out of reach of children and pets. Do not use the tablets after the expiry date printed on the pack.

FAQs

Why does Exval-A combine two different blood pressure medicines?
Combining Amlodipine and Valsartan addresses blood pressure through two different mechanisms, which can help when a single medicine alone isn’t enough.

Can Exval-A be taken during pregnancy?
No, it should not be used during pregnancy, and a doctor should be informed immediately if pregnancy occurs or is suspected while taking it.

Does Exval-A require regular monitoring?
Yes, periodic blood pressure checks and occasional blood tests are generally recommended while on this medicine.

What should be done if a dose is missed?
The missed dose should generally be taken as soon as remembered unless it is close to the next scheduled dose, in which case it should be skipped rather than doubled — though specific guidance should come from your doctor.
