Mechanism of action
valsartan/hydrochlorothiazide is a combination medication used to treat high blood pressure. valsartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that works by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a hormone that causes blood vessels to narrow and constrict, resulting in increased blood pressure. hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic that helps the body eliminate excess fluid and salt, which can also help lower blood pressure.
The combination of valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide can have a synergistic effect, meaning that their combined action is more effective than each drug alone. valsartan/hydrochlorothiazide is indicated for the treatment of hypertension in adults
