Hypertension: Valsartan is used to treat hypertension. Valsartan can be used alone or in combination with other antihypertensive agents.
Heart failure: Valsartan is used to treat heart failure (NYHA class II-IV) in non-tolerant patients on ACE inhibitors. Valsartan significantly reduces the risk of hospitalization in patients with heart failure. There is no evidence that valsartan provides additional benefits when consumed with ACE inhibitors.
Post myocardial infarction: Improved survival in patients with myocardial infarction is clinically stable with some signs, symptoms or radiological evidence of left ventricular failure and/or with left ventricular systolic dysfunction.
