Indication/Uses:

Valsartan 80mg film-coated tablets are primarily used for the treatment of several cardiovascular conditions. Here are the main indications and uses:

1. Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): Valsartan is commonly prescribed to manage high blood pressure. It helps lower blood pressure, which reduces the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney problems.

2. Heart Failure: Valsartan is used to treat heart failure, a condition where the heart is unable to pump blood effectively. It helps reduce symptoms and improve heart function.

3. Post-Myocardial Infarction (Heart Attack): Valsartan may be prescribed to patients who have recently had a heart attack to improve survival and reduce the risk of further heart-related issues.

4. Chronic Kidney Disease (in the context of hypertension): For patients with chronic kidney disease and high blood pressure, valsartan helps manage blood pressure and protect kidney function.

Mechanism of Action: Valsartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). It works by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a hormone that causes blood vessels to constrict. By preventing this action, valsartan helps to relax blood vessels, lower blood pressure, and reduce the workload on the heart.

Dosage and Administration:

• Hypertension: Typically, the starting dose is 80mg once daily. The dosage can be adjusted based on the patient’s response and target blood pressure.
• Heart Failure: The dosage for heart failure may be adjusted based on the patient’s condition and response to treatment.
• Post-Myocardial Infarction: The dosage is adjusted according to the patient's condition and response.
