Exforge (amlodipine and valsartan) prescription available online

Exforge is considered a combination of a calcium channel blocker (CCB) and angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). Amlodipine works by relaxing your heart and blood vessels, while valsartan prevents blood vessels from narrowing, which lowers blood pressure and improves blood flow.

Some conditions that Exforge is known to treat include high blood pressure (hypertension). Exforge is available only by prescription. It is available in a generic formulation as amlodipine and valsartan, as well as under different brand names.

Exforge is often prescribed as a film-coated tablet. It’s always important to follow the specific instructions on your prescription, as they can vary based on the dose and formulation that you are prescribed.

If you are prescribed Exforge, be sure to complete the full course of the blood pressure medication unless your doctor specifically tells you to stop. If you don’t complete your prescription, the calcium channel blocker and angiotensin II receptor blocker may not fully treat your high blood pressure.

Exforge has 574 drug interactions. Don’t change what you are taking without checking with your doctor or pharmacist. That includes other medications or supplements, as well as over-the-counter drugs.

Drinking alcohol while taking Exforge may have additive effects in lowering blood pressure, which can lead to dizziness, fainting, and severe hypertension. Ask your doctor for medical advice before drinking alcohol.
