Valzaar-160 Tablet contains Valsartan (160 mg), which works in the body as follows:

• Blocks Angiotensin II Receptors: Angiotensin II is a substance in your body that can cause your blood vessels to narrow. By blocking the receptors of this substance, Valsartan prevents this narrowing action.

• Relaxes Blood Vessels: By blocking the angiotensin II receptors, Valsartan allows the blood vessels to relax, meaning blood can flow more easily through your body.

• Lowers Blood Pressure: The easier flow of blood, as a result of the relaxed blood vessels, helps to lower your blood pressure.

• Improves Heart Efficiency: By lowering blood pressure, Valsartan reduces the strain on your heart, thus improving its ability to pump blood efficiently.
