WHAT DAFIRO IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Dafiro 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.
Dafiro is used to treat high blood pressure in adults whose blood
pressure is not controlled enough
with either amlodipine or valsartan on its own.
