What Is Valsartan 160mg?
Valsartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) sold under the brand name Diovan. It works by blocking a hormone that narrows blood vessels, helping vessels relax so blood pressure goes down and the heart pumps more easily. Doctors prescribe it for high blood pressure, heart failure, and to reduce cardiovascular risk after a heart attack. Some patients take valsartan together with amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker, when one medicine alone does not control blood pressure.

High blood pressure (hypertension) in adults and children 6 years and older
Heart failure (NYHA class II–IV)
Reducing cardiovascular death after a heart attack with left ventricular failure or dysfunction
Lowering the risk of stroke and heart attack by controlling blood pressure
Used with other antihypertensives, such as amlodipine, when additional blood pressure control is needed
