How Valcap works
Valcap is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB). It relaxes the blood vessel by blocking the action of a chemical that usually makes blood vessels tighter. This lowers the blood pressure, allowing the blood to flow more smoothly to different organs and the heart to pump more efficiently.
What if you forget to take Valcap?
If you miss a dose of Valcap, skip it and continue with your normal schedule. Do not double the dose.

Contraindication
Hypersensitivity; severe hepatic impairment, cirrhosis or biliary obstruction; primary hyperaldosteronism. Pregnancy (2nd and 3rd trimesters) and lactation.
Mode of Action
Valsartan, an angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor antagonist, produces its BP lowering effects by inhibiting angiotensin II-induced vasoconstriction, aldosterone release and renal reabsorption of Na.
Precaution
Patients w/ renal artery stenosis, heart failure, aortic or mitral stenosis, severe Na and/or volume depletion. Renal and mild to moderate hepatic impairment. Lactation. Monitoring Parameters Monitor BP, electrolytes, renal function. Monitor serum K levels every dose increment and periodically thereafter.
Side Effect
>10%
Dizziness (17%; heart failure),Increased blood urea nitrogen (BUN; 17%)
1-10%
Hyperkalemia (4-10%),Dizziness (2-8%; hypertension),Hypotension (1-7%; heart failure),Fatigue (3%),Viral infection (3%),Neutropenia (2%),Syncope (>1%),Upper abdominal pain (>1%),Vertigo (>1%)
Frequency Not Defined
Headache,Cough (rare)
Potentially Fatal: Blood dyscrasias (e.g. neutropenia).
Interaction
May antagonise hypotensive effects and increase the risk of renal impairment w/ NSAIDs. Increased risk of hyperkalaemia w/ K-sparing diuretics, K supplements or K-containing salt substitutes.
Potentially Fatal: Increased risk of hypotension, hyperkalemia and changes in renal function (including acute renal failure) when used w/ aliskiren in patients w/ diabetes and renal impairment (GFR <60 mL/min).
