Can I switch in between the brands of Valzaar, since currently the brand I am using is not available?
No, do not switch to a different Valzaar product unless your doctor says that you should. Since you have to take it daily, keep a stock of it. Each Valzaar product releases the medication differently in your body and cannot be used interchangeably.
Which medicine is considered safe for treating high blood pressure?
There are many blood pressure-lowering medicines which can be considered safe. Use of these medicines varies from person to person and can be based on various factors such as age, gender, other co-existing diseases, etc. For instance, a person below 55 years of age having no other coexisting disease may be prescribed angiotensin II receptor antagonists (ARAs) (e.g., Valzaar, losartan, olmesartan) or Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) Inhibitors (e.g., ramipril, captopril, or enalapril) by the doctor.
How long does it take for Valzaar to start working?
A substantial decrease in blood pressure can be experienced within 2 weeks of starting Valzaar. The medicine may take up to 4 weeks to show its complete effects.
Does Valzaar cause weight gain?
No, Valzaar does not cause weight gain as a side effect. However, if your kidney function deteriorates, then your body may swell due to accumulation of water (fluid retention) because of which you may gain weight. Inform your doctor if you experience any unexplained weight gain or swelling in your feet, ankles, or hands.
How long do I need to take Valent?
Continue taking Valent as long as your doctor has prescribed. Do not stop taking it even if you start feeling better. You may even have to take it life long, since Valent does not cure high blood pressure or heart failure but controls them.
