WHAT BEVACOMB IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Bevacomb tablets contain two substances called amlodipine and
valsartan. Both of these substances
help to control high blood pressure.
−
Amlodipine belongs to a group of substances called “calcium channel
blockers”.
Amlodipine stops calcium from moving into the blood vessel wall which
stops the blood
vessels from tightening.
−
Valsartan belongs to a group of substances called “angiotensin-II
receptor antagonists”.
Angiotensin II is produced by the body and makes the blood vessels
tighten, thus increasing
the blood pressure. Valsartan works by blocking the effect of
angiotensin II.
This means that both of these substances help to stop the blood
vessels tightening. As a result,
the blood vessels relax and blood pressure is lowered.
Bevacomb is used to treat high blood pressure in adults whose blood
pressure is not controlled
enough with either amlodipine or valsartan on its own.
