Valsartan Tablets IP
Valsartan is a popular blood-pressure drug used by millions of people in the U.S. and sold under the brand names Diofan and Exforge.
Product Details
Valsartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) used for the management of high blood pressure and heart failure. It may also be used after certain heart attacks to support cardiovascular recovery and reduce the risk of complications. By relaxing blood vessels, Valsartan helps improve blood flow and reduces the workload on the heart.
Key Benefits
- Helps manage high blood pressure
- Supports the management of heart failure
- Helps reduce cardiovascular strain
- Supports recovery and long-term heart health after certain heart attacks
- Promotes better blood flow by relaxing blood vessels
How It Works
Valsartan blocks the action of angiotensin II, a hormone that causes blood vessels to narrow and promotes salt and water retention. By blocking its effects, Valsartan helps blood vessels relax and allows the kidneys to eliminate excess sodium and water, which helps lower blood pressure and reduce the workload on the heart.
Common Side Effects
- Dizziness
- Headache
- Fatigue
- Low blood pressure
- Increased potassium levels
- Changes in kidney function
- Nausea
Important Information
Valsartan should be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Blood pressure, kidney function, and potassium levels may require regular monitoring during treatment. It should not be used during pregnancy because medicines that act on the renin-angiotensin system can cause serious harm to the developing baby. Consult your doctor before using potassium supplements or potassium-containing salt substitutes.
