Description: Lotevan is a combination medication that contains Amlodipine and Valsartan. It is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that relaxes blood vessels and improves blood flow. Valsartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that helps to lower blood pressure by preventing blood vessels from narrowing. Together, they effectively control hypertension and help prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems.
