Verified Ingredients and Effects

Composition:

HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE-12.5MG + VALSARTAN-80MG

Uses:

Treatment of Hypertension (high blood pressure)

Medicinal Benefits:

Valzaar H 80 mg Tablet is primarily used to reduce high blood pressure. It is a combination of two medicines, namely: Valsartan and Hydrochlorothiazide. Valsartan is a blood pressure-lowering medicine that blocks the hormone angiotensin, thereby relaxing and widening the narrowed blood vessels. This allows the blood to flow more smoothly in the blood vessels, and the heart can pump more efficiently. On the other hand, Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic or water pill that works by removing extra water/fluid and certain electrolytes overload from the body. Together, Valzaar H 80 mg Tablet lowers the fluid overload, raised blood pressure, improves blood flow, and reduces the future risk of a heart attack and stroke.
