Exforge (Amlodipine/Valsartan)

Description:
Exforge is a prescription medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It combines two active ingredients: Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker, and Valsartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). Together, they help relax blood vessels, improving blood flow and reducing blood pressure.
