Get Valsartan Treatment Online

Valsartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker approved to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), heart failure, and left ventricular dysfunction following a heart attack. Lowering blood pressure reduces the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney damage.

Valsartan blocks angiotensin II from binding to its receptors in blood vessel walls and the adrenal glands. This prevents the blood vessels from narrowing and reduces the release of aldosterone, resulting in lower blood pressure and less strain on the heart.

For hypertension, the usual starting dose is 80 mg or 160 mg once daily, which may be increased up to 320 mg per day depending on response. Heart failure dosing typically starts lower, at 40 mg twice daily, and is titrated up under physician supervision.

Common side effects include dizziness, headache, fatigue, and elevated potassium levels (hyperkalemia). Some patients experience a mild decline in kidney function, particularly at the start of therapy. Contact your doctor if you notice significant swelling, muscle weakness, or irregular heartbeat.

Valsartan can interact with other blood pressure medications, potassium supplements, potassium-sparing diuretics, NSAIDs such as ibuprofen or naproxen, and lithium. Always inform your prescriber of all medications, vitamins, and supplements you are taking.

Valsartan is contraindicated during pregnancy because it can cause serious fetal harm or death. It should be avoided in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to ARBs, those with bilateral renal artery stenosis, and patients concurrently taking aliskiren who also have diabetes or kidney impairment.
