Diovan 160Mg 28 Tab

Diovan is a medication used to treat high blood pressure and belongs to a class of drugs known as angiotensin II receptor antagonists. This medication works by relaxing blood vessels, which helps to lower blood pressure. It is also used in the treatment of heart failure.

Diovan (VALSARTAN) works by inhibiting the effect of angiotensin II, a hormone that causes blood vessels to constrict. By blocking this effect, the medication helps to widen blood vessels, leading to lower blood pressure and improved blood flow. It also shows benefits in reducing the risk of strokes and heart attacks in patients with high blood pressure. Additionally, it is used in the management of heart failure to improve quality of life and reduce the need for hospitalization.
