Exforge is a prescription medication that contains two active ingredients: amlodipine and valsartan. It is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) in people who need both medicines to help bring their blood pressure under better control.
Using two medications that work in different ways can provide a stronger blood pressure-lowering effect than using either medicine alone.
Hypertension means the pressure of blood pushing against the walls of your arteries stays too high over time.
High blood pressure often does not cause noticeable symptoms, but it can gradually damage the heart, blood vessels, kidneys, brain, and other organs if it is not controlled.
Managing blood pressure is important because it can help reduce the risk of serious complications such as heart attack, stroke, kidney problems, and other cardiovascular conditions.
Amlodipine belongs to a group of medications called calcium channel blockers (CCBs).
Calcium helps the muscles in the walls of blood vessels contract. Amlodipine reduces the movement of calcium into these muscle cells, allowing the blood vessels to relax and widen.
When blood vessels are more open, blood can flow through them more easily and the pressure inside the arteries decreases.
Valsartan belongs to a group of medications called angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs).
Angiotensin II is a natural substance in the body that can cause blood vessels to tighten. It can also contribute to processes that increase blood pressure.
Valsartan blocks the effects of angiotensin II at its receptors. This helps the blood vessels relax and reduces resistance to blood flow.
Exforge combines the effects of amlodipine and valsartan in a single medication.
Amlodipine helps relax blood vessels by affecting calcium movement, while valsartan prevents angiotensin II from causing the blood vessels to tighten.
Because these medicines target blood pressure through different pathways, they can work together to provide more effective control.
When the blood vessels relax and widen, the heart does not need to work as hard to push blood through the body.
This lowers the pressure inside the arteries and can improve overall blood flow.
With regular use, Exforge can help keep blood pressure within the range recommended by your healthcare provider.
Exforge may be prescribed when one blood pressure medication alone is not providing enough control.
It may also be used in people who are already taking amlodipine and valsartan separately and can conveniently take both ingredients in one tablet.
Your healthcare provider will determine whether the combination is appropriate based on your blood pressure, medical history, response to previous treatments, and other medications you take.
Keeping blood pressure under control reduces ongoing stress on the heart and arteries.
Over time, better blood pressure management can help protect important organs and reduce the risk of complications related to uncontrolled hypertension.
Exforge begins lowering blood pressure after treatment starts, but the full effect may develop gradually.
Your healthcare provider may check your blood pressure regularly and adjust your treatment if needed.
Exforge helps control high blood pressure, but it does not permanently cure hypertension.
You may need to continue treatment even when your blood pressure improves and you feel well. Do not stop taking Exforge without speaking with your healthcare provider, because blood pressure can rise again after treatment is stopped.
Exforge is usually taken once daily by mouth, with or without food. Take it exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
Swallow the tablet with water and try to take your dose at about the same time every day.
You can take Exforge with food or on an empty stomach.
The most important thing is to take it consistently. If taking it with food is easier on your stomach, you can continue using that routine unless your healthcare provider gives you different instructions.
Exforge comes in different strengths because it contains two medicines: amlodipine and valsartan.
Your healthcare provider will choose the dose based on factors such as your current blood pressure, medical history, response to treatment, and any previous doses of amlodipine or valsartan you have taken.
If you are already taking amlodipine and valsartan as separate medications, your healthcare provider may switch you to Exforge.
This allows you to take both medicines in one combination tablet instead of taking them separately.
Your healthcare provider will match the Exforge strength as closely as possible to the doses you were already taking.
Exforge works best when it is taken regularly and consistently.
Do not take it only when your blood pressure feels high. High blood pressure usually does not cause noticeable symptoms, so treatment is still important even when you feel well.
Try to take Exforge at approximately the same time every day.
A regular schedule can make it easier to remember your dose and helps maintain a steady blood pressure-lowering effect throughout the day.
Exforge begins lowering blood pressure after treatment starts, but the full benefit may not be noticeable right away.
It can take several weeks for your blood pressure to reach its full response to treatment. Your healthcare provider may monitor your readings during this time.
Do not increase, decrease, or stop Exforge without speaking with your healthcare provider.
If your blood pressure is still too high, your healthcare provider may adjust the dose after seeing how you respond to treatment.
You may not feel any different when Exforge is working because hypertension often has no obvious symptoms.
Continue taking the medication as prescribed even if you feel completely well and your blood pressure readings improve.
Your healthcare provider may recommend checking your blood pressure regularly while you are taking Exforge.
Keeping track of your readings can help show how well the medication is working and whether your dose needs adjustment.
For the best results, take Exforge once daily, at a consistent time, and exactly as prescribed.
Regular treatment, along with any diet, exercise, or lifestyle changes recommended by your healthcare provider, can help keep your blood pressure under better control.
Exforge (Amlodipine/Valsartan) is available in the following forms and strength:
Exforge should not be used during pregnancy because valsartan can harm an unborn baby.
If you become pregnant while taking Exforge, contact your healthcare provider as soon as possible. Treatment is usually stopped and replaced with a safer blood pressure medication.
Use Exforge with caution if you have liver disease or reduced liver function.
Amlodipine is processed by the liver, so liver problems can affect how long the medication stays in your body. Your healthcare provider may need to monitor you more closely or adjust your treatment.
Exforge may cause hypotension, or blood pressure that becomes too low.
The risk may be greater if you are dehydrated, have low salt levels, take certain diuretics, or have heart failure. Symptoms may include dizziness, weakness, lightheadedness, or fainting.
Stand up slowly from sitting or lying positions, especially when you first start treatment.
Tell your healthcare provider if you have kidney disease or reduced kidney function before taking Exforge.
Valsartan can affect kidney function in some people, especially those who already have kidney problems. Your healthcare provider may check kidney function during treatment.
Exforge may increase the amount of potassium in your blood, a condition called hyperkalemia.
The risk may be higher if you have kidney disease, diabetes, or heart failure, or if you take potassium supplements or other medicines that raise potassium levels.
Your healthcare provider may order blood tests to monitor your potassium.
Rarely, Exforge can cause angioedema, which is sudden swelling under the skin.
Swelling may affect the face, lips, tongue, or throat and can make breathing or swallowing difficult. Seek emergency medical attention if you develop these symptoms.
People with heart failure may need closer monitoring while taking Exforge.
Changes in blood pressure, kidney function, or potassium levels can be especially important in people with severe heart failure. Your healthcare provider will decide whether Exforge is appropriate for your condition.
Exforge is used to lower blood pressure, which generally helps reduce cardiovascular risk over time.
However, blood pressure that drops too quickly or too low can sometimes be a concern in certain high-risk patients. Your healthcare provider will monitor your blood pressure and overall cardiovascular health during treatment.
Tell your doctor, dentist, or surgeon that you are taking Exforge before having surgery or another medical procedure.
Blood pressure medicines can affect blood pressure during anesthesia or surgery. Your healthcare provider will tell you whether you should continue or temporarily stop Exforge before the procedure.
Yes. Exforge can interact with certain prescription medicines, over-the-counter products, supplements, and vitamins. Tell your healthcare provider about everything you take, especially medicines that affect blood pressure, kidney function, or potassium levels. This helps reduce the risk of unwanted interactions.
Take Exforge exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. It is usually taken once daily, with or without food. Try to take it at about the same time each day to help maintain consistent blood pressure control.
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not take two doses at the same time to make up for the missed one.
Exforge is not used to lower blood sugar and does not directly treat diabetes. If you have diabetes, continue following your blood sugar treatment plan. Your healthcare provider may monitor both your blood pressure and blood sugar as part of your overall care.
Exforge should not be used during pregnancy because valsartan can harm an unborn baby. If you become pregnant while taking Exforge, contact your healthcare provider as soon as possible. If you are breastfeeding, talk to your healthcare provider before using Exforge. They can help determine whether another treatment may be more appropriate.
Exforge should be used carefully in people with liver problems. Although serious liver problems are uncommon, contact your healthcare provider if you develop symptoms such as persistent nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, dark urine, or yellowing of the skin or eyes.
Take Exforge every day exactly as prescribed, even if you feel well. Keep your regular healthcare appointments so your blood pressure, kidney function, potassium levels, and overall response to treatment can be monitored. Following any diet, exercise, or lifestyle recommendations from your healthcare provider can also help improve blood pressure control.
