Description of Diovan 160 mg
Diovan 160 mg contains Valsartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) used to manage hypertension (high blood pressure) and heart failure. By blocking the action of angiotensin II, Valsartan relaxes blood vessels, leading to lower blood pressure and improved blood flow. This reduction in blood pressure helps prevent complications such as heart attacks, strokes, and kidney problems, particularly in patients with diabetes. Consistent use as prescribed by a healthcare professional, along with lifestyle modifications like a balanced diet and regular exercise, is essential for optimal cardiovascular health.
