Valsartan is a selective angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor antagonist (ARB) indicated for the treatment of hypertension, heart failure, and renal protection in diabetic nephropathy. It lowers blood pressure by blocking the vasoconstrictive and aldosterone-secreting effects of angiotensin II, leading to vasodilation and reduced cardiac workload. Our Valsartan API is manufactured under WHO-GMP / cGMP conditions and is suitable for tablet and capsule formulations.
Therapeutic Uses
- Hypertension (first-line or combination therapy)
- Heart failure (to reduce morbidity and mortality)
- Renal protection in diabetic nephropathy (to reduce progression of kidney damage)
- Fixed-dose combinations with HCTZ or amlodipine are commonly formulated.
Mechanism of Action
Valsartan selectively blocks AT1 receptors, preventing angiotensin II-mediated vasoconstriction and aldosterone release. The result is systemic vasodilation, decreased sodium and water retention, and lowered blood pressure with minimal effect on bradykinin (so lower cough incidence vs ACE inhibitors).
