Valsartan should not be stopped if you are suffering from high blood pressure while taking the medication.
Valsartan is used to lower blood pressure, once the drug is stopped, the blood pressure will fluctuate significantly, but more detrimental to health. Studies have shown that if you don’t take antihypertensive drugs regularly, the resulting fluctuations in blood pressure can cause more damage to the cardiovascular system.
Some hypertensive patients take antihypertensive drugs for a period of time, many times measuring blood pressure at normal levels, mistakenly believe that their hypertension has been cured, and then stop taking antihypertensive drugs, which is wrong. So far, there is no drug that can completely cure high blood pressure.
It is recommended that patients do not stop taking medication on their own, but should consult a doctor in time, who will analyze the situation according to the specific circumstances and give the antihypertensive medication adjustment plan if necessary.
