Safely Buy Exforge ( Amlodipine/Valsartan ) from Canada Prescriptions Plus.

What is Exforge? 

Exforge is a combination of two active drugs called amlodipine and valsartan; it is used to control hypertension. Both drugs work to relax and widen blood vessels, but in different ways; amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that blocks calcium into the cells of the heart and blood vessels, while valsartan is an ARB’s angiotensin receptor blocker that blocks angiotensin II from narrowing blood vessels.  

Hypertension increases pressure in the blood, which causes an additional workload for the heart and affects blood vessels in the heart, brain, and kidney in the long run. Exforge works by relaxing blood vessels and muscles in the heart to increase the supply of blood and oxygen to decrease the risk of other medical problems.
