Product Overview

Combination of two substances: Valsartan is distinguished by its tolerability and safety, with a side effect profile similar to placebo. Unlike ACE inhibitors, it lacks associated adverse effects like cough or angioedema. Studies reveal its ability to lower urinary oxidative stress markers and reduce oxidative damage in various tissues. These findings suggest valsartan’s potential as a therapeutic tool for patients with heightened oxidative stress and protein glycation, offering benefits that extend beyond its established antihypertensive effects. Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) poses a significant risk for squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in transplant recipients, doubling their likelihood of developing this aggressive skin cancer. Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) shows no such association, but the findings emphasize the need for vigilant monitoring and safer hypertension management options.

FAQ
Should transplant recipients stop using HCTZ?
Stopping HCTZ is not always necessary, but alternative treatments should be considered if the risk of SCC is high.

What is valsartan’s role in endothelial function?
Valsartan enhances nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability, reducing endothelial dysfunction and improving blood vessel flexibility and overall vascular health.

Is valsartan safe for long-term use?
Yes, valsartan has a favorable safety profile, avoiding common side effects like cough or angioedema seen with ACE inhibitors, and is well-tolerated over long-term use.
