EXFORGE HCT (AMLODIPINE; HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE; VALSARTAN): This product is used to treat high blood pressure. Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. This product contains 3 medications: amlodipine, valsartan, and hydrochlorothiazide. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker, and valsartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB). They both work by relaxing blood vessels so blood can flow more easily. Hydrochlorothiazide is called a "water pill" (diuretic) and causes your body to get rid of extra salt and water by making more urine. FDA Approval Date: 2009-04-30 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
