Product Overview

As a multifaceted therapeutic agent, valsartan goes beyond blood pressure control to address oxidative and glycation stress. It has been shown to reduce oxidative damage and AGE formation, preventing endothelial dysfunction and arterial stiffness. Its safety and efficacy in reducing cardiovascular risks are well-established, with significant benefits for diabetic and hypertensive patients. The drug’s dual action as an AT1 receptor blocker and antiglycooxidant underscores its value in treating a broad range of conditions linked to oxidative stress and protein glycation. This positions valsartan as an innovative and comprehensive option in modern therapy.

FAQ
What are advanced glycation end products (AGEs), and how does valsartan affect them?
AGEs are harmful compounds formed through protein glycation that contribute to vascular stiffness and inflammation. Valsartan helps reduce AGE formation, improving vascular health.

How does valsartan impact oxidative stress?
Valsartan reduces reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxidative markers like protein carbonyls and advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP), mitigating oxidative damage.

Is valsartan safe to use?
Yes, valsartan is well-tolerated, with a side effect profile similar to placebo. It avoids common side effects of ACE inhibitors like cough and angioedema.
