Velker Plus 10mg/160mg (14 Tablet / Pack)
A dual-action prescription antihypertensive tablet combining a calcium channel blocker and an ARB to manage essential hypertension.
Velker Plus is a dual-mechanism fixed-dose antihypertensive formulation engineered to achieve optimal blood pressure reduction. The active pharmaceutical ingredients combine two distinct therapeutic classes: Amlodipine (as Besylate) is a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker that selectively inhibits transmembrane calcium influx into vascular smooth muscle cells, leading to direct peripheral arterial vasodilation and reduced total peripheral resistance. Concurrently, Valsartan is a potent, specific oral angiotensin II receptor antagonist that selectively blocks the AT1 receptor subtype responsible for the detrimental actions of angiotensin II. By displacing angiotensin II, it prevents systemic vasoconstriction, inhibits aldosterone release, and curtails sympathetic activation, working synergistically with amlodipine to lower arterial pressure.
Purpose
Indicated for the treatment of essential hypertension in patients whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled on monotherapy, or as initial therapy in patients requiring multiple drugs to achieve target blood pressure.
Ingredients
Amlodipine + Valsartan
Warnings
Contraindicated in pregnant women due to the risk of severe fetal injury, renal failure, and death; discontinue immediately if pregnancy is detected. Do not co-administer with aliskiren in patients with diabetes mellitus or renal impairment. Contraindicated in severe hepatic impairment, biliary cirrhosis, cholestasis, or severe aortic stenosis. Monitor serum potassium and renal function parameters regularly, especially in patients with pre-existing renal artery stenosis or congestive heart failure. Avoid concurrent use of potassium supplements or salt substitutes containing potassium.

Peripheral edema (swelling of ankles or feet), dizziness, headache, facial flushing, fatigue, nausea, or nasopharyngitis.
