Valsartan is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist used for the treatment of mild to moderate hypertension, especially for secondary hypertension due to kidney damage. Dosage forms of valsartan include valsartan capsules, valsartan dispersible tablets, and valsartan tablets.
It is important to note that the drug is contraindicated in patients who are allergic to the components of the drug in valsartan, contraindicated in women during pregnancy, contraindicated in patients with severe renal failure, and should be used with caution in patients suffering from hyponatremia and/or hypovolemia, renal artery stenosis, hepatic and renal insufficiency, and angioneurotic edema.
If you need to take valsartan antihypertensive drugs, it is recommended that you consult a professional doctor and follow the doctor’s instructions for standardized treatment, not blindly self-medication.
