EXFORGEHCT(Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide) 5mg/160mg/12.5mg

EXFORGE HCT (Amlodipine / Valsartan / Hydrochlorothiazide) 5mg / 160mg / 12.5mg – Triple Action for Hypertension Management

Overview

EXFORGE HCT combines Amlodipine (5mg), a calcium channel blocker, Valsartan (160mg), an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), and Hydrochlorothiazide (12.5mg), a thiazide diuretic, into a single tablet to manage hypertension (high blood pressure). This triple-action formulation works through three different mechanisms to lower blood pressure effectively. Amlodipine helps relax blood vessels, Valsartan blocks the action of a hormone that constricts blood vessels, and Hydrochlorothiazide helps the body eliminate excess salt and water, which reduces fluid buildup and lowers blood pressure.

Key Benefits of EXFORGE HCT Tablets

• Helps Relax Blood Vessels – Amlodipine relaxes the blood vessels, making it easier for blood to flow.
• Blocks Hormonal Effects – Valsartan reduces the effects of a hormone that causes blood vessels to tighten, lowering blood pressure.
