Valsartan HCT 160mg/25MG Tablets, 28 Tablets

Valsartan HCT 160mg/25MG Tablets contain two active substances called valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide. Both of these substances help to control high blood pressure (hypertension)

Valsartan belongs to a class of medicines known as “angiotensin II receptor antagonists”, which help to control high blood pressure. Angiotensin II is a substance in the body that causes vessels to tighten, thus causing your blood pressure to increase. Valsartan works by blocking the effect of angiotensin II. As a result, blood vessels relax and blood pressure is lowered.

Hydrochlorothiazide belongs to a group of medicines called thiazide diuretics (also known as “water tablets”). Hydrochlorothiazide increases urine output, which also lowers blood pressure

What is Valsartan HCT 160mg/25MG Tablets used for?

Valsartan HCT 160mg/25MG Tablets is used to treat high blood pressure which is not adequately controlled by a single substance alone.

What is High Blood Pressure?

High blood pressure increases the workload of the heart and arteries. If not treated, it can damage the blood vessels of the brain, heart, and kidneys, and may result in a stroke, heart failure or kidney failure.
High blood pressure increases the risk of heart attacks. Lowering your blood pressure to normal reduces the risk of developing these disorders.

The best way to maintain your blood pressure is by controlling it with medication. High levels can lead not only risky health issues but also serious complications, such as stroke or kidney failure! If you’re diagnosed and prescribed medicine for high BP (blood pressure), don’t hesitate in taking these medications every day without fail – they’ll help keep the bad stuff away so that all we need worry about now are those happy days where our numbers stay low like this:

Blood pressure is recorded with 2 numbers. The systolic pressure (higher number) is the force at which your heart pumps blood around your body.

The diastolic pressure (lower number) is the resistance to the blood flow in the blood vessels.

They’re both measured in millimetres of mercury (mmHg).

As a general guide:

  • high blood pressure is considered to be 140/90mmHg or higher (or 150/90mmHg or higher if you’re over the age of 80)
  • ideal blood pressure is usually considered to be between 90/60mmHg and 120/80mmHg

Blood pressure readings between 120/80mmHg and 140/90mmHg could mean you’re at risk of developing high blood pressure if you do not take steps to keep your blood pressure under control.

Everyone’s blood pressure will be slightly different. What’s considered low or high for you may be normal for someone else.

If your blood pressure is too high, it puts extra strain on your blood vessels, heart and other organs, such as the brain, kidneys and eyes.

Persistent high blood pressure can increase your risk of a number of serious and potentially life-threatening health conditions, such as:

If you have high blood pressure, reducing it even a small amount can help lower your risk of these health conditions.

It’s not always clear what causes high blood pressure, but there are things that can increase your risk.

You might be more at risk if you:

  • are overweight
  • eat too much salt and do not eat enough fruit and vegetables
  • do not do enough exercise
  • drink too much alcohol or coffee (or other caffeine-based drinks)
  • smoke
  • do not get much sleep or have disturbed sleep
  • are over 65
  • have a relative with high blood pressure
  • are of black African or black Caribbean descent
  • live in a deprived area

Making healthy lifestyle changes can sometimes help reduce your chances of getting high blood pressure and help lower your blood pressure if it’s already high.

Product Details

Product Information of Valsartan HCT 160mg/25mg Tablets

What you need to know before you take Valsartan HCT

• if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to valsartan, hydrochlorothiazide, sulphonamide derivatives (substances chemically related to hydrochlorothiazide) or to any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
• if you are more than 3 months pregnant (it is also better to avoid Valsartan HCT 80MG/12.5MG in early
pregnancy – see pregnancy section).
• if you have severe liver disease, destruction of the small bile ducts within the liver (biliary
cirrhosis) leading to the build up of bile in the liver (cholestasis).
• if you have severe kidney disease.
• if you are unable to produce urine (anuria).
• if you are treated with an artificial kidney.
• if the level of potassium or sodium in your blood is lower than normal, or if the level of calcium
in your blood is higher than normal despite treatment.
• if you have gout.
• if you have diabetes or impaired kidney function and you are treated with a blood pressure
lowering medicine containing aliskiren.
If any of the above apply to you, tell your doctor and do not take Co-Diovan.
Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor
• if you are taking potassium-sparing medicines, potassium supplements, salt substitutes containing
potassium or other medicines that increase the amount of potassium in your blood such as
heparin. Your doctor may need to check the amount of potassium in your blood regularly.
• if you have low levels of potassium in your blood.
• if you have diarrhoea or severe vomiting.
• if you are taking high doses of water tablets (diuretics).
• if you have severe heart disease.
• if you are suffering from heart failure or have experienced a heart attack. Follow your doctor’s
instruction for the starting dose carefully. Your doctor may also check your kidney function.
• if you suffer from a narrowing of the kidney artery.
• if you have recently received a new kidney.
• if you suffer from hyperaldosteronism. This is a disease in which your adrenal glands make too
much of the hormone aldosterone. If this applies to you, the use of Valsartan HCT 80MG/12.5MG is not recommended.
• if you have liver or kidney disease.
• if you have ever experienced swelling of the tongue and face caused by an allergic reaction called angioedema when taking another drug (including ACE inhibitors), tell your doctor. If these symptoms occur when you are taking Co-Diovan, stop taking Co-Diovan immediately and never
take it again. See also section 4, “Possible side effects”.
• if you have fever, rash and joint pain, which may be signs of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE, a so-called autoimmune disease).

o an ACE inhibitors (for example enalapril, lisinopril, Ramipril), in particular if you have diabetes-related kidney problems.
o aliskiren
• if you have had skin cancer or if you develop an unexpected skin lesion during the treatment.

Taking Co-Diovan with food, drink and alcohol
Avoid taking alcohol until you have talked to your doctor. Alcohol may make your blood pressure fall
more and/or increase the risk of you becoming dizzy or feeling faint.
Pregnancy and breast-feeding
• You must tell your doctor if you think that you are (or might become) pregnant
Your doctor will normally advise you to stop taking Valsartan HCT  before you become pregnant or as soon
as you know you are pregnant, and will advise you to take another medicine instead of Valsartan HCT .  Valsartan HCT  is not recommended in early pregnancy, and must not be taken when more than 3 months
pregnant, as it may cause serious harm to your baby if it is used after the third month of pregnancy.

Valsartan HCT  is not recommended for mothers who are breast-feeding, and your doctor may choose
another treatment for you if you wish to breast-feed, especially if your baby is newborn, or was born prematurely.
Driving and using machines
Before you drive a vehicle, use tools or operate machines or carry out other activities that require concentration, make sure you know how Co-Diovan affects you. Like many other medicines used to
treat high blood pressure, Valsartan HCT  may occasionally cause dizziness and affect the ability to concentrate.
