Exforge tablets combine two active ingredients, amlodipine and valsartan, to effectively manage high blood pressure. Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker, prevents calcium from entering the blood vessel walls, which helps to relax the vessels. Valsartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker, counters the effects of a hormone that causes blood vessels to tighten. Together, they lower blood pressure by keeping blood vessels relaxed and open.

Benefits:
- Effective hypertension treatment: Designed for adults with inadequate control of blood pressure when using either medication alone.
- Dual action: Combines the mechanisms of a calcium channel blocker and an angiotensin receptor blocker for improved blood pressure management.
- Reduces cardiovascular risks: Lowers the likelihood of serious health issues related to high blood pressure.

Precautions:
- Consult your doctor: Before use, especially if you have a history of vomiting, diarrhea, liver or kidney issues, or heart conditions.
- Post-transplant considerations: Not suitable for individuals who have had a kidney transplant or have narrowing of kidney blood vessels.
- Swelling warning: Discontinue use and contact your doctor if you experience facial or neck swelling.
- Kidney function monitoring: Your doctor may regularly check your kidney function, blood pressure, and electrolyte levels.
- Not for children: Use in individuals under 18 years is not recommended.

Side Effects:
- Potential side effects may include dizziness, fatigue, or swelling, particularly if you're adjusting to the medication.

Main Ingredients & Their Benefits:
- Amlodipine (5 mg): A calcium channel blocker that relaxes blood vessels by preventing calcium influx, lowering blood pressure.
- Valsartan (160 mg): An angiotensin II receptor antagonist that blocks the action of a hormone that causes blood vessel constriction, aiding in blood flow.
