Valzaar-H 160 Tablet

Valzaar-H 160 Tablet is a prescription blood pressure medicine that contains valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide in each tablet. It combines an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) with a thiazide diuretic to help lower high blood pressure. This tablet is used for adults who need more than one medicine to control hypertension, and lowering blood pressure helps reduce the risk of stroke and heart-related complications. Valzaar-H 160 Tablet is not for quick relief of symptoms; it is taken regularly as directed by a clinician.

How it works: Valsartan blocks a hormone signal that narrows blood vessels, helping arteries relax and lower pressure. Hydrochlorothiazide helps the kidneys remove extra salt and water, which reduces fluid volume and further lowers blood pressure in this tablet form.

Valzaar-H 160 Tablet is a single, as-labeled strength in tablet form, so it is meant for patients whose doctor has already decided that this valsartan-hydrochlorothiazide dose is appropriate. Because there are no lower or higher brand strengths in our range, this product fits treatment only at this specific dose rather than gradual brand-to-brand titration. It may feel more effective than a lower-dose starting regimen because it delivers the full labeled amount of both medicines in one tablet.

• Treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension)
• May be used when one medicine alone is not enough
• Helps lower the risk linked to long-term uncontrolled blood pressure
• Used as part of a blood pressure management plan with diet and lifestyle changes

• Swallow Valzaar-H 160 Tablet whole with water; do not crush or chew unless your prescriber specifically says otherwise.
• Take it at the same time each day to help you remember doses.
• It can be taken with or without food.
• Because it contains hydrochlorothiazide, some people prefer taking it earlier in the day to avoid nighttime urination.
• Stand up slowly after taking it, especially when starting treatment, because it can lower blood pressure and cause dizziness.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.

Each Valzaar-H 160 Tablet provides valsartan 160 mg plus hydrochlorothiazide at the labeled strength. For hypertension, it is usually taken once daily, but the exact dose and whether it is appropriate as a starting or maintenance dose depend on the prescriber’s assessment. Do not take more than one tablet in 24 hours unless your doctor specifically instructs you to do so.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.

Common side effects of Valsartan + Hydrochlorothiazide may include:

• Dizziness or lightheadedness, especially when standing up
• Increased urination
• Tiredness or weakness
• Headache
• Nausea
• Low blood pressure symptoms, which may be more noticeable with this 160 mg tablet in sensitive patients

• Do not use during pregnancy; medicines that act on the renin-angiotensin system can harm an unborn baby.
• Use caution if you have kidney disease, liver disease, gout, diabetes, or a history of dehydration.
• This tablet can cause dehydration and low potassium or sodium; your doctor may order blood tests.
• Avoid alcohol or limit it, since it can worsen dizziness and low blood pressure.
• Be careful driving or using machinery until you know how Valzaar-H 160 Tablet affects you.
• Tell your doctor if you have a history of sulfa allergy, because hydrochlorothiazide is a sulfonamide-related diuretic.
• Do not start salt substitutes or potassium supplements unless your prescriber approves them.

• Lithium, which can reach unsafe levels with hydrochlorothiazide
• NSAIDs such as ibuprofen or naproxen, which may reduce effect and stress the kidneys
• Potassium supplements or potassium-sparing diuretics, which can raise potassium too much
• Other blood pressure medicines, which may increase dizziness or low blood pressure
• Alcohol, which can intensify blood pressure lowering and lightheadedness
