Exforge HCT 10/160/12.5mg tabs by 28

Description:

Exforge HCT 12.5 is a prescription combination medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It contains three active ingredients:

• Amlodipine (a calcium‑channel blocker) — relaxes and widens blood vessels
• Valsartan (an angiotensin‑receptor blocker) — helps lower blood pressure by blocking effects of angiotensin
• Hydrochlorothiazide (HCT) — a diuretic that helps the body remove excess salt and water

The “12.5” refers to the 12.5 mg hydrochlorothiazide component in the tablet; the other two components are fixed at standard strengths depending on the product formulation.

Key Benefits:

• Helps effectively lower blood pressure using three complementary mechanisms
• Reduces risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney damage from sustained hypertension
• Improves blood flow and decreases strain on the heart

Caution:

Exforge HCT should be taken only under medical supervision. Do not stop the medicine suddenly without doctor’s advice. Possible side effects include dizziness, fatigue, headache, swelling of ankles or feet, and dehydration from the diuretic effect.

Before use, tell your doctor if you have heart disease, kidney or liver problems, gout, diabetes, or electrolyte imbalances. Avoid excessive potassium supplements unless directed by your doctor, and report symptoms such as muscle cramps, irregular heartbeat, or persistent dizziness. Always follow the prescribed dose and schedule.
