It brings together three different ingredients that work in different ways: one relaxes and widens blood vessels, one helps block the effects of a blood pressure–raising hormone, and one helps your body get rid of extra salt and water. This combined action can make it easier to control blood pressure when one medicine alone is not enough. Lowering blood pressure may also help reduce your risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney problems over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e## Indications: When do you need this medication?\u003cbr\u003e* \u003cstrong\u003eHigh blood pressure (hypertension)\u003c\/strong\u003e: Used when your blood pressure stays high and needs better control to help protect your heart, brain, and kidneys.\u003cbr\u003e* \u003cstrong\u003ePatients not controlled on one or two blood pressure medicines\u003c\/strong\u003e: Helpful for people who need stronger treatment than a single drug can provide.\u003cbr\u003e* \u003cstrong\u003ePatients already taking the three ingredients separately\u003c\/strong\u003e: Can be used as a convenient replacement for taking amlodipine, valsartan, and hydrochlorothiazide as separate tablets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e## Dosage and Administration: How to use the drug safely and effectively?\u003cbr\u003e* \u003cstrong\u003eUsual Dosage\u003c\/strong\u003e:  \u003cbr\u003e  * The usual dose is \u003cstrong\u003eone tablet once daily\u003c\/strong\u003e.  \u003cbr\u003e  * The exact strength should be chosen by your doctor based on your current blood pressure and previous medicines.  \u003cbr\u003e  * \u003cstrong\u003eDo not change your dose on your own.\u003c\/strong\u003e Exforge HCT is available in different strengths, and your doctor may adjust you gradually if needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e* \u003cstrong\u003eMethod of Administration\u003c\/strong\u003e:  \u003cbr\u003e  * Take \u003cstrong\u003eone tablet by mouth once a day\u003c\/strong\u003e, preferably at the same time each day.  \u003cbr\u003e  * You may take it \u003cstrong\u003ewith or without food\u003c\/strong\u003e.  \u003cbr\u003e  * Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water.  \u003cbr\u003e  * Try to drink enough fluids unless your doctor tells you to limit them.  \u003cbr\u003e  * If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for your next dose. \u003cstrong\u003eDo not take two doses at the same time.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e* \u003cstrong\u003eImportant Safety Tips\u003c\/strong\u003e:  \u003cbr\u003e  * This medicine is \u003cstrong\u003enot for treating sudden very high blood pressure emergencies\u003c\/strong\u003e.  \u003cbr\u003e  * Your blood pressure may be checked regularly, and your doctor may also monitor your kidney function and blood salts.  \u003cbr\u003e  * Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully, especially if you are also taking other blood pressure medicines, diuretics, or heart medications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want, I can also create the next sections in the same style: \u003cstrong\u003eside effects, warnings, interactions, and storage instructions\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Novartis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43221874212929,"sku":"3000699","price":270.0,"currency_code":"EGP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0697\/1188\/8449\/files\/3000699_1.jpg?v=1767616031","url":"https:\/\/www.lotusonline.com\/products\/exforge-hct-10-160-25mg-14-film-coated-tablet","provider":"Lotus Pharmacies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
