• Once-daily dosing for convenient use

How It Works

Valsartan selectively blocks angiotensin II receptors in blood vessels, leading to vasodilation. This lowers blood pressure, reduces cardiac workload, and provides organ protection, particularly for the heart and kidneys.

Dosage

The usual dose is one 160mg tablet once daily. Your doctor may adjust the dose based on your response and condition. Take Norvatis Access Valsartan at the same time each day, with or without food.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include dizziness, headache, and fatigue. Most side effects are mild and often improve over time. Unlike ACE inhibitors, Valsartan rarely causes a dry cough. Contact your doctor if side effects persist or worsen.

Warning

Do not use it during pregnancy as it can harm the unborn baby. Use with caution in patients with severe liver or kidney disease. Inform your doctor of any allergies or medical conditions before starting treatment.

Interaction

Novartis Access Valsartan may interact with other medications. Inform your doctor about all drugs you’re taking, including:

• Other blood pressure medications
• Potassium supplements or salt substitutes
• NSAIDs (like ibuprofen)
• Lithium
• Certain diuretics

Important Information

Regular blood pressure monitoring is essential while taking Norvartis Access Valsartan. Maintain a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise, to maximize the medication’s benefits. Do not stop taking the medication without consulting your doctor, as sudden discontinuation may lead to a rapid increase in blood pressure.
