This lowers blood pressure and increases the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart.</li>\n<li>Amlodipine inhibits calcium ion influx across cell membranes, with a greater effect on vascular smooth muscle cells. This causes vasodilation and a reduction in peripheral vascular resistance, thus lowering blood pressure.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h4><span>Therapeutic Indications Of Exforge 5/160 Tablets</span></h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Treating high blood pressure (hypertension) in adult patients when monotherapy with amlodipine or valsartan is not sufficient.</li>\n<li>High blood pressure is a common condition in which the long-term force of the blood against your artery walls is high enough that it may eventually cause health problems, such as heart disease.</li>\n<li>Lowering blood pressure reduces the risk of fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events, primarily strokes and myocardial infarctions.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h4><span>Method Of Administration Of Exforge 5/160 Tablets</span></h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Always take this medicine exactly as your doctor has told you.
