Valent 40 Tablet contains valsartan (40 mg) and works in the body in the following ways:

• Blocks Angiotensin II: Valsartan functions by blocking a substance called angiotensin II from binding to the AT1 receptor in your body's tissues. Angiotensin II is a potent substance that can constrict your blood vessels.

• Reduces Blood Pressure: By blocking angiotensin II, valsartan effectively reduces your blood pressure. This is achieved through the dilation of your blood vessels and decreased secretion of a hormone called aldosterone, which helps regulate your salt and water balance, thereby reducing blood pressure and the strain on your heart.

• Increases Potassium Excretion: By inhibiting the effects of angiotensin II, valsartan also increases the excretion of potassium from your body, which further helps to manage your blood pressure.

• Decreases Vascular Resistance: Valsartan reduces the resistance in your blood vessels, contributing to the decrease in blood pressure and improving the output of your heart, particularly beneficial for patients with heart failure.

• Store Valent 40 Tablet in a tightly closed container.

• Keep it at room temperature, ideally between 15°C to 30°C.
