Comprimido Exforge 10/160 mg

Introducción

Exforge 10/160mg Tablet is a prescription medication used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension) effectively. It combines two proven ingredients—Amlodipine (10mg), a calcium channel blocker, and Valsartan (160mg), an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB)—to relax blood vessels, improve blood flow, and reduce the workload on the heart. This dual-action formula helps you maintain healthier blood pressure levels while reducing risks linked to cardiovascular events like stroke and heart attack.

Designed for adults who require combination therapy, Exforge 10/160mg provides consistent control in moderate to severe hypertension, especially when a single medicine alone is not enough. Common benefits include reduced blood pressure, enhanced vascular protection, and improved treatment adherence with once-daily dosing. Most users begin to notice improvements within a few weeks of regular use. While generally well-tolerated, some commonly reported side effects include dizziness, swelling in the legs or ankles, headaches, and tiredness. Exforge is manufactured following international pharmaceutical standards and is dispensed by DoctorOnCall International, a certified Malaysian online pharmacy with a strong reputation for safe, regulated global medication supply.

General Indications of Exforge 10/160mg Tablet

Exforge is primarily prescribed for the treatment of essential hypertension in adults, particularly those who require multiple medications to achieve optimal blood pressure goals. Combining Amlodipine and Valsartan in one tablet offers simplified treatment with enhanced effectiveness. The medication improves vascular function by reducing arterial resistance and preventing hormonal tightening of blood vessels, resulting in better overall blood pressure control.

It is suitable for patients who do not respond adequately to either Amlodipine or Valsartan alone. Regular use helps lower long-term risks associated with uncontrolled hypertension such as heart disease, kidney complications, and stroke. International customers purchase Exforge 10/160mg from DoctorOnCall International for its affordability, quality assurance, and Ministry of Health approval. Our service ensures licensed pharmacists verify each transaction and provides temperature-controlled, secure shipping worldwide.

How to Take Exforge 10/160mg Tablet

Take Exforge 10/160mg exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. It is typically taken once daily at the same time each day to maintain steady medication levels in your bloodstream. You may take it with or without food, but maintain consistency. Swallow the tablet whole with water; do not crush or chew it.

Avoid skipping doses. If missed, take it as soon as possible unless it is near your next scheduled dose. Do not double up doses. To avoid dizziness when starting treatment, get up slowly from sitting or lying positions. Continue taking Exforge even if you feel well, as high blood pressure often has no symptoms. Always consult your doctor or pharmacist before making any changes to your dosage.

Exforge is available in multiple strengths, including 5/160mg, 10/160mg, and 10/320mg. The typical starting dosage varies depending on prior therapy with Amlodipine, Valsartan, or both separately. Exforge 10/160mg is often used as a maintenance dose when clinically advised.
