Description
About Valtec 160mg Tablets (28s)
Valtec 160mg Tablets contain Valsartan 160mg, an Angiotensin II Receptor Blocker (ARB) used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure), heart failure, and to improve survival following a myocardial infarction (heart attack). Valsartan works by selectively blocking angiotensin II at the AT1 receptor, preventing vasoconstriction and allowing blood vessels to relax — reducing blood pressure and easing cardiac strain.
At the 160mg strength, Valtec is appropriate for patients who require a higher ARB dose for effective blood pressure control or post-infarction cardiac management. Regular use helps protect the kidneys from hypertension-related damage and reduces the risk of stroke and cardiovascular events. Each pack contains 28 tablets — a standard monthly supply for once-daily dosing.
Important: Valsartan is contraindicated in pregnancy (Category D) — it may cause fetal harm. This is a prescription-only (Rx) medicine. Use only under physician supervision. Explore our Anti-Hypertensive medicines and the full Tablets and Capsules range at Derma.pk.
