Avoid drinking alcohol. It can lower your blood pressure and may increase some of the side effects of amlodipine, hydrochlorothiazide, and valsartan. Do not use potassium supplements or salt substitutes while you are taking amlodipine, hydrochlorothiazide, and valsartan, unless your doctor has told you to. Avoid getting up too fast from a sitting or lying position, or you may feel dizzy. Get up slowly and steady yourself to prevent a fall.
