Valsartan Hctz contains two prescription medicine namely valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide. This drug is usually prescribed to lower high blood pressure in adults. It is especially prescribed when one medicine is used to lower your high blood pressure is not enough. The antihypertensive agent, including two pharmaceutical agents with complementary mode of action, may result in greater blood pressure reductions than single-agent compounds. The use of valsartan, an angiotensin receptor blocker and a thiazide diuretic represents a logical choice for combination therapy. An angiotensin receptor blocker works by inhibiting angiotensin II-mediated vasoconstriction and renal sodium retention. At the same time, a thiazide diuretic causes a reduction in intravascular volume and total body sodium. The dose of valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide provides a greater antihypertensive effect in combination with either agent alone. The blood pressure lowering effects of the combination drug also is greater than either monotherapy. The safety and efficacy of the combination drug are well established. The single-pill formulation improves treatment adherence and persistence. Reducing pill burden in patients with hypertension may improve the psychological well being of patients. Â
Taking the medication as per the doctor’s recommendation will help you get the best results and lower the risk of side effects. Speak to your doctor if you have any doubt related to the use of the medication. Most antihypertensive patients do not show signs of high blood pressure, and many of them feel quite normal.
