EXFORGE HCT (Amlodipine / Valsartan / Hydrochlorothiazide) 10mg / 160mg / 12.5mg – Advanced Blood Pressure Control

Overview

EXFORGE HCT is a triple-combination medication that contains Amlodipine (10mg), a calcium channel blocker, Valsartan (160mg), an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), and Hydrochlorothiazide (12.5mg), a thiazide diuretic. This combination is designed to manage high blood pressure (hypertension) by utilizing three complementary mechanisms: Amlodipine relaxes blood vessels, Valsartan blocks a hormone that narrows blood vessels, and Hydrochlorothiazide helps the body eliminate excess sodium and water. Together, they provide comprehensive and effective blood pressure control, reducing the risk of cardiovascular events.
