Exforge HCT 5mg/160mg/25mg x 28Tabs

Exforge HCT (Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide)

Description:
Exforge HCT is a prescription medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It combines three active ingredients:

• Amlodipine – a calcium channel blocker

• Valsartan – an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB)

• Hydrochlorothiazide (HCT) – a thiazide diuretic (water pill)

This triple-combination formula works together to lower blood pressure more effectively than single or dual therapies.

Uses:

• Treatment of moderate to severe hypertension

• Helps reduce the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and kidney problems

How It Works:

• Amlodipine relaxes blood vessels to ease blood flow
