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 tablets are used for:

  • treatment of patients with high blood pressure (hypertension);

high blood pressure increases the workload of the heart and arteries; if untreated, it can damage the blood vessels of the brain, heart and kidneys and can lead to stroke, heart failure or renal insufficiency; high blood pressure increases the risk of heart attacks; by lowering your blood pressure to a normal value, you decrease the risk of developing these disorders;

  • treatment of patients who have recently experienced a heart attack (myocardial infarction) (12 hours to 10 days);
  • treatment of adult patients with 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 other medications to treat heart failure can not be used. Symptoms of heart failure include shortness of breath and sweating of the feet due to fluid accumulation in these limbs. This is caused when the heart muscle can not pump the amount of blood needed to supply the entire body.

Adrenaline is an endogenous substance that is produced in the adrenal medulla and has important physiological effects. It is a potent agonist at both alpha and beta adrenoceptors, although the effect on beta adrenoceptors is more marked, particularly at lower doses.

 The major effects of adrenaline are dose-related and include:

dilatation of the bronchi, narrowing of blood vessels, increased heart rate and contractility (positive chronotropic and inotropic effect) and stimulation at central level. Adrenaline is a histamine antagonist. It is used for the treatment of life emergencies.

Adrenaline is used in acute allergic reactions and anaphylactic shock.

It is also used in advanced cardiac life support.
