• Please note that the doctor may have prescribed the medicine for a different use and/or with a different dosage than stated in the package insert.


• Always follow your doctor's prescribing indicated on the pharmacy label.


• Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide film-coated tablets contain two active substances called valsartan and Hydrochlorothiazide.


• Both of these active substances help to treat high blood pressure ( hypertension ).

Valsartan:

• belongs to a group of medicines called " angiotensin II receptor antagonists", which are used to treat high blood pressure.


• Angiotensin II is a substance in the body that causes blood vessels to constrict, so that blood pressure increases.


• Valsartan works by blocking the effects of angiotensin II.


• The result is that the blood vessels relax and the blood pressure is lowered.

Hydrochlorothiazide:

• belongs to a group of medicines called thiazide diuretics (also known as "diuretics").


• Hydrochlorothiazide increases the amount of urine, which also lowers blood pressure.


• Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide is used to treat high blood pressure when treatment with a single active substance alone has not produced a sufficient effect.


• High blood pressure increases the workload on the heart and arteries. If left untreated, it can damage the blood vessels in the brain, heart, and kidneys, and can lead to stroke, heart failure, or kidney failure.


• High blood pressure increases the risk of a heart attack.


• When blood pressure is lowered to normal levels, the risk of developing these disorders is reduced.

How To Use:

• Always use this medicine exactly as your doctor has told you.


• This will help you achieve the best possible result and reduce the risk of side effects.
