Valsartan 160 mg is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) commonly prescribed to treat conditions such as hypertension (high blood pressure) and heart failure. The 160 mg dosage is a standard strength used to help control blood pressure levels. Valsartan works by blocking the effects of angiotensin II, a hormone that constricts blood vessels. By relaxing blood vessels, valsartan promotes better blood flow and helps lower blood pressure. Patients taking valsartan should follow their healthcare provider's instructions closely and report any potential side effects. Regular monitoring of blood pressure is essential to assess the medication's effectiveness and make any necessary adjustments to the treatment plan.
