Valsartan
Valsartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), used for high blood pressure, heart failure and after some heart attacks. This catalogue lists it in three combination tablets: Diovan HCT, Entresto and Exforge.
Key points
- Diovan HCT, Entresto and Exforge each combine valsartan with a different second ingredient: hydrochlorothiazide, sacubitril and amlodipine.
- Valsartan blocks angiotensin II activity, letting blood vessels relax.
- Valsartan carries a pregnancy warning, because it can seriously harm a baby developing in the womb.
What Valsartan is used for
In this catalogue, valsartan is listed for Hypertension in the Diovan HCT and Exforge tablets, and for Heart Failure in the Entresto tablet.
Brands and forms in this catalogue
All three products here are tablets in the Heart & Blood Pressure category, and each is listed with Novartis as the originator brand. None of them is a single-ingredient valsartan tablet, which is why the catalogue holds three separate combination brand names for this molecule.
