What Is Valsartan 40mg?
Valsartan is a prescription angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) sold under the brand name Diovan. It works by blocking a hormone that narrows blood vessels, which helps relax vessels and lower blood pressure. Doctors prescribe it for hypertension, heart failure, and to reduce the risk of death after a heart attack in certain patients. Valsartan is sometimes combined with other medicines — for example, amlodipine and valsartan are available together in a single combination tablet — but this product contains valsartan only.
