New Day 5/160mg Tablet is a combination antihypertensive medicine containing Amlodipine Besylate (5 mg) and Valsartan (160 mg). It is formulated to help manage high blood pressure (hypertension) and reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that relaxes blood vessels, improving blood flow, while Valsartan is an angiotensin‑II receptor blocker (ARB) that prevents blood vessel constriction and lowers blood pressure. Together, they work synergistically to effectively control elevated blood pressure and support heart health.
