What Is Valsartan HCTZ 160/25mg?

Valsartan HCTZ 160/25mg is a combination tablet containing valsartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), and hydrochlorothiazide, a thiazide diuretic. Valsartan relaxes blood vessels while hydrochlorothiazide helps the body remove excess salt and water, and together they lower blood pressure more than either drug alone. It is the generic equivalent of Diovan HCT and is taken once daily. Lowering blood pressure reduces the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney problems over time.
