Overview
Torrent Valzaar 160mg Tablet contains valsartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) in adults, and also used to manage heart failure and to improve survival after a heart attack.
Valsartan works by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a hormone that narrows blood vessels and raises blood pressure, allowing blood vessels to relax and widen.
How it Works
Torrent Valzaar selectively blocks angiotensin II from binding to its receptor on blood vessel walls, preventing the vessel-narrowing and sodium- and water-retaining effects of this hormone. This relaxes blood vessels, lowers blood pressure, and reduces the workload on the heart.
Directions for Use
Take the tablet once daily at the same time each day, with or without food, swallowed whole with water.
Dosage
The usual adult dose for high blood pressure is 80mg to 160mg once daily, adjusted by your doctor based on response; doses for heart failure or post-heart attack use are individualised and started lower.
Shelf Life
Refer to the expiry date printed on the packaging.
