Uses of Valsacard

Valsacard contains valsartan as an active ingredient. This is an angiotensin receptor blocker prescribed for use in adults and children 1 year of age and older to reduce high blood pressure. Valsacard can also be used alone or in combination with other blood pressure medications to treat heart failure and other related problems.

Valsacard contains valsartan which is an angiotensin receptor blocker. The drug is also known as an angiotensin-II receptor antagonist. You will be prescribed when you have high blood pressure (hypertension), or heart failure, heart attack ...
Valsartan works by blocking the effects of a chemical called angiotensin II. Angiotensin II causes blood vessels to narrow, so by blocking the effect, valsartan will allow blood vessels to dilate and widen. When this happens, the pressure in the blood vessels will drop and it will be easier for the heart to pump blood around the body. Valsartan also helps protect the heart after a heart attack.

Before you start taking Valsacard it is important to tell your doctor about the following:
If you are pregnant, trying to have a baby or are breast-feeding. If there is a problem with the kidneys, especially if it is a blockage of the artery that supplies blood to the kidneys. If there are any problems with the heart valves or the heart muscle. Have problems with how your liver works, or if you have a condition that blocks the flow of bile from the liver. If you are being treated at the same time with other drugs. This includes any existing medications that are available to buy without a prescription, as well as herbal medicines and supplements.
