Require Prescription

Description: Exforge HCT is a combination medication used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). It combines three active ingredients—amlodipine, valsartan, and hydrochlorothiazide—which work together to effectively lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker, valsartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), and hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic.

Ingredients:

• Active Ingredients:
  • Amlodipine (5 mg): A calcium channel blocker that relaxes and widens blood vessels, improving blood flow.
  • Valsartan (160 mg): An ARB that blocks the action of angiotensin II, preventing blood vessel constriction.
  • Hydrochlorothiazide (12.5 mg): A thiazide diuretic that helps reduce blood pressure by removing excess fluid from the body.
• Inactive Ingredients: Cellulose, magnesium stearate, hypromellose, and other excipients.

Usage Instructions:

• Dosage: The typical dose is one tablet taken once daily. The dosage may be adjusted based on individual patient response and clinical condition.
• Frequency: Take one tablet every day at the same time, preferably in the morning.
• Special Considerations: Swallow the tablet whole with water. It can be taken with or without food. Regular monitoring of blood pressure, kidney function, and electrolyte levels is recommended.

Benefits:

• Comprehensive Hypertension Management: Combines three medications to effectively control high blood pressure.
• Reduced Cardiovascular Risk: Lowers the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other complications associated with hypertension.
• Convenient Dosing: A single tablet regimen simplifies treatment, improving patient adherence.
