Description
Amlodipine relaxes the blood vessels and increases the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart while reducing its workload. Valsartan blocks the substance in the body that is responsible for constriction of blood vessels. Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic (water pill). It reduces the amount of water in the body by increasing the flow of urine, which helps lower the blood pressure.
