What Is Valsartan HCTZ 80/12.5mg?

Valsartan HCTZ 80/12.5mg is a prescription combination tablet containing valsartan 80mg and hydrochlorothiazide 12.5mg. Valsartan relaxes blood vessels by blocking angiotensin II, while hydrochlorothiazide helps the body remove excess salt and water. Together, they lower blood pressure more effectively than either medicine alone for many patients. It is the generic equivalent of Diovan HCT and is taken once daily.
