Trivan Plus Indications/Uses

Hypertension: Combination of Amlodipine besilate and Valsartan is indicated for the treatment of hypertension. It may be used in patients whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled on either monotherapy. It may also be used as initial therapy in patients who are likely to need multiple drugs to achieve their blood pressure goals. The initial therapy for hypertension should be based on an assessment of potential benefits and risks including whether the patient is likely to tolerate the lowest dose.
Patients with stage 2 hypertension (moderate or severe) are at a relatively higher risk for cardiovascular events (such as strokes, heart attacks, and heart failure), kidney failure and vision problems, so prompt treatment is clinically relevant. The decision to use a combination as initial therapy should be individualized and should be shaped by considerations such as baseline blood pressure, the target goal and the incremental likelihood of achieving goal with a combination compared to monotherapy. Individual blood pressure goals may vary based upon the patient's risk.
