Product Description

 

Dioplus 10/160mg is a high-strength combination medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It contains two active ingredients: amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker, and valsartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). Amlodipine works by relaxing and widening blood vessels, which lowers blood pressure, while valsartan helps relax blood vessels by blocking a natural substance that narrows them.

This dual-action formula makes Dioplus 10/160mg a highly effective option for patients whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled by a single medication or a lower dose of a combination pill. By combining two different mechanisms of action in one tablet, it provides a convenient and powerful approach to managing hypertension, helping to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

 

Q1: What is Dioplus 10/160mg used for? Dioplus 10/160mg is used to treat high blood pressure in adults, particularly when lower-strength medications are not sufficiently effective.

Q2: How does a combination pill like Dioplus work? The combination pill works by using two different mechanisms to lower blood pressure. Amlodipine relaxes blood vessels, and valsartan blocks a substance that constricts them, providing a more powerful effect than either medication alone.

Q3: What are the common side effects of this medication? Common side effects can include dizziness, swelling in the ankles or feet, headache, and fatigue. You should inform your doctor if any side effects are severe or persistent.

Q4: Can I stop taking Dioplus if my blood pressure is normal? No, you should never stop taking this medication without consulting your doctor. Blood pressure medication helps to control your condition but does not cure it. Stopping abruptly could cause your blood pressure to rise dangerously.

Q5: What should I do if I miss a dose? If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
