Product Description: Exforge is a combination medication containing amlodipine (10 mg) and valsartan (160 mg), used for the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension). Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker, helps relax blood vessels and improve blood flow, while valsartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), reduces blood vessel constriction. This combination effectively lowers blood pressure, helping to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney problems. Exforge is generally prescribed for patients whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled with single medications.
