Exforge

Exforge, a drug with two most important ingredients for the treatment of hypertension has just been introduced. The key ingredients present in Exforge are Diovan which is also known as valsartan and Norvasc or amlodipine besylate.

Patients suffering from hypertension will most probably be able to use Exforge by September 2007, when the patent on one of its active ingredients expires.. Europe’s Novartis, one of the leading drug makers in Europe which believes in offering medicines to protect health, improve well being and treat diseases has manufactured Exforge. 

Exforge has also been approved by European commission, as a new and highly effective single-pill treatment for Hypertension. EU approval based on clinical trails on more than 5000 patients, which shows better efficacy and less edema than with amlodipine (Norvasc).

This oral prescription drug is known to be most effective in patients whose blood pressure is not sufficiently controlled by any angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) or dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker (CCB).

The intake of pills is greatly reduced with Exforge, as it’s a pill that can be taken only once a day on the preference of an individual.

Ans. Exforge works by relaxing the blood vessels, which makes it easier for the blood to flow which causes much lower blood pressure.

Q. What are the side effects of Exforge?
Ans. All drugs cause a few side effects and so does Exforge such as Dizziness, Headache, Tiredness and swelling up of the ankle and feet.

Q. What If I Miss A Dose?
Ans. If a dose of Exforge is missed, take it as soon as possible, but if it’s nearing your next schedule revert back to your earlier routine of taking the medicine. Do not exceed the dosage as it can enhance its side effects.

Hypertension is one of the major health conditions which requires immediate treatment, as it is one of the primary factor which leads to death among a large number of individuals across the world.

High blood pressure is a condition where the force of blood goes against your artery walls in great strength. High blood pressure has the ability to damage your heart, arteries and kidneys. Atherosclerosis and stroke can be caused due to high blood pressure.

The factors which cause high blood pressure are: high salt intake, a sedentary lifestyle and stress. The symptoms of hypertension are not easily seen, as it only causes a reaction when the condition is very high. Hypertension is often referred to as a killer which attacks in a very silent manner, and without your knowledge it can start affecting an important organ.

The arrival of Exforge is highly anticipated to treat a condition called hypertension.
