Valsartan is used for:
Treating high blood pressure alone or with other medicines. It is also used for treating heart failure in patients who do not tolerate angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors.
Valsartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker. It works by blocking a hormone that tightens blood vessels. This causes blood vessels to relax (dilate), which lowers blood pressure and decreases the workload on the heart.
Do NOT use Valsartan if:
- you are allergic to any ingredient in Valsartan
- you are past your first trimester of pregnancy
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
How to use Valsartan :
Use Valsartan as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.
- Take Valsartan by mouth with or without food. If stomach upset occurs, take with food to reduce stomach irritation.
- Take Valsartan on a regular schedule to get the most benefit from it.
- If you miss a dose of Valsartan , take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.
Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Valsartan .
