Film – coated tablets - 160 mg
Valsan contains the active substance valsartan, which is an antagonist of angiotensin II receptors. Angiotensin II, which is produced by the body, narrows blood vessels. This causes increased blood pressure. Valsan prevents the narrowing of blood vessels by blocking the effect of angiotensin II. It relaxes blood vessels and lowers blood pressure.
Valsan 160 mg - film -coated tablet is used for:
• treatment of patients with high blood pressure (hypertension);
• treatment of patients who have recently experienced a heart attack (myocardial infarction) (12 hours to 10 days);
• treatment of patients with heart failure (symptomatic heart failure), when treatment with other specific drugs (known as ACE - inhibitors, used in the treatment of heart failure) is not suitable. However, Valsan can be taken together with ACE - inhibitors, if beta - blockers can not be used (other medicines used to treat heart failure.
