Covam Tablet Uses

Covam tablet is used for the treatment of hypertension or high blood pressure. It contains the active ingredients Valsartan and Amlodipine. Valsartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that helps lower blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that is also used to treat high blood pressure and coronary artery disease. Covam helps blood flow easier by blocking a substance that can cause tightening of the blood vessels. High blood pressure can lead to severe problems like strokes, heart attacks, or kidney diseases if not dealt with, therefore medicines like Covam are prescribed for the management of hypertension to keep these problems under control.
