Onato V Tablet 5mg/160mg contains a combination of Amlodipine and Valsartan, two antihypertensive medicines used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). This combination helps relax the blood vessels, improve blood flow, and reduce the strain on the heart.

Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that relaxes and widens blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily. Valsartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that prevents blood vessels from tightening, helping lower blood pressure. Together they help maintain healthy blood pressure and reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications.

Onato V 5/160mg is often prescribed when a single blood pressure medicine is not enough to control hypertension effectively.
