Description
About Valtec 80mg Tablet
Valtec 80mg Tablet contains Valsartan 80mg, an Angiotensin II Receptor Blocker (ARB) prescribed for hypertension (high blood pressure), heart failure, and cardiac protection after a myocardial infarction (heart attack). Valsartan at 80mg is a standard therapeutic dose that effectively lowers blood pressure by blocking the AT1 receptor, preventing angiotensin II from constricting blood vessels and stimulating aldosterone release.
Regular use of Valtec 80mg helps maintain stable blood pressure, reduces cardiac preload and afterload, and provides meaningful protection to both the heart and kidneys. It is widely prescribed for patients with moderate hypertension or those transitioning from the 40mg starting dose. Unlike ACE inhibitors, Valsartan does not cause a dry cough, making it a preferred ARB for long-term antihypertensive therapy.
Important: Valsartan is contraindicated in pregnancy (Category D). This is a prescription-only (Rx) medicine — use under physician supervision only. Explore our Anti-Hypertensive medicines or the complete Tablets and Capsules range at Derma.pk.
