Introduction
Aprovasc 300/5mg Tablet is a prescription medication that belongs to a group of drugs called antihypertensive agents, specifically combining an angiotensin II receptor blocker and a calcium channel blocker.

While taking this medicine, some people may experience common side effects such as dizziness, leg swelling, headaches, or tiredness.
