6.Contents of the package and additional information
This medication contains three substances called amlodipino, valsartán and hidroclorotiazida. All these substances help control high blood pressure.
Hidroclorotiazida increases urine production, which also lowers blood pressure.
As a result of the three mechanisms, blood vessels relax and blood pressure decreases.
Amlodipino/Valsartán/Hidroclorotiazida is used to treat high blood pressure in adult patients whose blood pressure is already controlled while taking amlodipino, valsartán and hidroclorotiazida and who may benefit from taking a tablet that contains the three substances.
