Covam 5/80 mg Tablet – Effective, Dual-Mechanism Blood Pressure Control

Covam 5/80 mg is a prescription antihypertensive tablet combining Amlodipine (5 mg), a calcium-channel blocker, with Valsartan (80 mg), an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB).  This combination helps relax blood vessels and reduce blood pressure more effectively than either agent alone. 

This once-daily tablet is ideal for patients whose hypertension isn't controlled by a single medication, or for those who require combination therapy.

  • Lowers blood pressure via dual mechanisms (vasodilation + hormone blockade)
  • Once-daily dosing improves patient compliance
  • Helps reduce risks of stroke, heart attack, and other cardiovascular complications when blood pressure is well-managed
  • May be more effective than using either drug alone in patients needing combination therapy
  • Manufactured by Getz Pharma, a reputable company with solid quality standards

  1. Take one Covam 5/80 mg tablet daily, or exactly as prescribed by your doctor. 
  2. The tablet can be taken with or without food, but try to take it at the same time each day. 
  3. Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water — do not split, crush, or chew.
  4. Maintain consistent use to keep your blood pressure under control; do not stop abruptly.
  5. Attend regular follow-ups with your healthcare provider to monitor blood pressure and side effects.

Q1: Can I take Covam 5/80 mg every day?
A1: Yes — the typical regimen is once daily, as long as your doctor has prescribed it. 

Q2: Why combine Amlodipine and Valsartan?
A2: Amlodipine helps relax blood vessels, while valsartan blocks a hormone (angiotensin II) that constricts vessels. Together, they lower blood pressure more effectively. 

Q3: What are common side effects?
A3: Common side effects include dizziness, swelling (especially ankles), fatigue, headache, or flushing. 

Q4: Do I need to monitor anything while on this medicine?
A4: Yes — regular blood pressure checks and periodic tests for kidney function and electrolytes are usually recommended. 

Q5: Is this safe during pregnancy?
A5: No — this medicine is not recommended during pregnancy because valsartan can be harmful to the fetus.

Amlodipine Besylate — 5 mg
Valsartan — 80 mg
Inactive ingredients as per the product insert.

  • Use only under medical supervision; this is a prescription-only drug. 
  • Avoid if you are allergic to amlodipinevalsartan, or any other component. 
  • Use caution if you have liver impairment, as both amlodipine and valsartan can be affected by liver function. 
  • Monitor your kidney function and electrolytes, especially potassium, because ARBs like valsartan can raise potassium levels. 
  • Be careful with low blood pressure — dizziness or fainting may occur, especially when standing up. 
  • Not recommended in pregnancy — valsartan may cause fetal harm. 
  • Store at room temperature, keep away from moisture and excessive heat.
