Amlodipine and valsartan tablets,USP is a fixed combination of amlodipine and valsartan. Amlodipine and valsartan contains the besylate salt of amlodipine, a dihydropyridine calcium-channel blocker (CCB). Amlodipine besylate is a white to pale yellow crystalline powder, slightly soluble in water and sparingly soluble in ethanol. Amlodipine besylate's chemical name is 3-Ethyl-5-methyl(4RS)-2-[(2-aminoethoxy)methyl]-4-(2‑ chlorophenyl)-6-methyl-1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylate benzenesulphonate; its structural formula is: Its empirical formula is C 20 H 25 ClN 2 O 5 •C 6 H 6 O 3 S and its molecular weight is 567.1. Valsartan is a nonpeptide, orally active, and specific angiotensin II antagonist acting on the AT 1 receptor subtype. Valsartan is a white to practically white fine powder, soluble in ethanol and methanol and slightly soluble in water. Valsartan's chemical name is N-(1-oxopentyl)-N-[[2'-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl) [1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl]methyl]-L-valine; its structural formula is: Its empirical formula is C 24 H 29 N 5 O 3 and its molecular weight is 435.5. Amlodipine and valsartan tablets are formulated in 4 strengths for oral administration with a combination of amlodipine besylate, equivalent to 5 mg or 10 mg of amlodipine free-base, with 160 mg or 320 mg of valsartan providing for the following available combinations: 5/160 mg, 10/160 mg, 5/320 mg and 10/320 mg. The inactive ingredients for all strengths of the tablets are colloidal silicon dioxide, crospovidone, magnesium stearate and microcrystalline cellulose. The film coating contains polyethylene glycol, polyvinyl alcohol, talc and titanium dioxide. Amlodipine chemical structure Valsartan chemical structure
