WHAT AMLODIPINE/
VALSARTAN/HCT
NOVARTIS IS USED FOR
AMLODIPINE/VALSARTAN/HCT
NOVARTIS is used to control high
blood pressure, also called
hypertension.
Everybody has blood pressure. This
pressure helps get your blood all
around your body. Your blood
pressure may be different at different
times of the day, depending on how
busy or worried you are. You have
hypertension (high blood pressure)
when your blood pressure stays
higher than is needed, even when you
are calm and relaxed.
High blood pressure increases the
workload of the heart and blood
vessels. If it continues for a long
time, it can damage the blood vessels
in the brain, heart and kidneys. This
can lead to stroke, heart failure or
kidney failure. High blood pressure
increases the risk of heart attacks.
Lowering your blood pressure
reduces the chance of these disorders
happening.
