Onato V HCT Tablet is a combination medication that contains the following active ingredients:

1. Amlodipine Besylate: Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that relaxes and widens the blood vessels, allowing for smoother blood flow and reducing blood pressure.
2. Valsartan: Valsartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that helps relax blood vessels and lower blood pressure by blocking the action of a hormone that narrows blood vessels.
3. Hydrochlorothiazide: Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic that helps the body eliminate excess fluid and salt, thereby reducing blood volume and lowering blood pressure.
