WHAT IMPRIDA HCT IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Imprida HCT tablets contain three substances called amlodipine,
valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide.
All of these substances help to control high blood pressure.

Amlodipine belongs to a group of substances called “calcium channel
blockers”. Amlodipine
stops calcium from moving into the blood vessel wall, which stops the
blood vessels from
tightening.

Valsartan belongs to a group of substances called “angiotensin-II
receptor antagonists”.
Angiotensin II is produced by the body and makes the blood vessels
tighten, thus increasing the
blood pressure. Valsartan works by blocking the effect of angiotensin
II.

Hydrochlorothiazide belongs to a group of substances called
“thiazide diuretics”.
Hydrochlorothiazide increases urine output, which also lowers blood
pressure.
As a result of all three mechanisms, the blood vessels relax and blood
pressure is lowered.
Imprida HCT is used to treat high blood pressure in adult patients who
are already taking amlodipine,
valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide and who may benefit from taking one
tablet containing all three
substances.
