WHAT VALSARTAN/HYDROKLORTIAZID NOVARTIS IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Valsartan/Hydroklortiazid Novartis film-coated tablets contain two
active substances called valsartan
and hydrochlorothiazide. Both of these substances help to control high
blood pressure (hypertension).

VALSARTAN belongs to a class of medicines known as “angiotensin II
receptor antagonists”,
which help to control high blood pressure. Angiotensin II is a
substance in the body that causes
vessels to tighten, thus causing your blood pressure to increase.
Valsartan works by blocking the
effect of angiotensin II. As a result, blood vessels relax and blood
pressure is lowered.

HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE belongs to a group of medicines called thiazide
diuretic

The recommended dose of Valsartan/Hydroklortiazid Novartis 160 mg/
