Valsartan

Valsartan blocks the vascular effects of angiotensin II. This ARB action supports its roles in hypertension, heart failure and care after some heart attacks. Each of the three attached tablets contains a different partner ingredient; there is no valsartan-only record in this catalogue.

Diovan Hct

Hypertension

80mg + 12.5mg · 160mg + 12.5mg

Designed to support arterial pressure management to manage circulatory volume and alleviate peripheral vascular tension.

From$1.63/ tabletView

Entresto

Heart Failure

24mg + 26mg

Formulated to alleviate cardiac workload to support ventricular recovery and target neurohormonal pathways.

From$0.78/ tabletView

Exforge

Essential Hypertension

5mg + 80mg

Lower elevated blood pressure in essential hypertension by relaxing blood vessels through dual complementary mechanisms

Key points

  • Valsartan is part of the ARB medicine class.
  • Its roles include hypertension, heart failure and post-heart-attack care.
  • Diovan HCT, Entresto and Exforge each add a different active ingredient.
  • Sacubitril with valsartan has a specific heart-failure role.

Three partner ingredients

Diovan HCT joins valsartan with hydrochlorothiazide and is attached to hypertension. Exforge pairs it with amlodipine for hypertension-related catalogue topics. Both records sit under heart and blood pressure.

Entresto pairs valsartan with sacubitril and is attached to heart failure. Government medicine information describes this two-ingredient formulation separately because sacubitril contributes neprilysin inhibition while valsartan contributes angiotensin receptor blockade.

Why this page is combination-only

The page explains the valsartan component shared by all three tablets. It does not turn Diovan HCT, Entresto or Exforge into valsartan-only names. Their full formulations account for different catalogue relationships and clinical contexts.

Pregnancy is a major valsartan safety boundary. Government medicine information states that fetal death or serious injury can result from exposure later in pregnancy.
