________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
TGP Valsartan Film Coated Tablet 80 mg contains valsartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). It works by selectively blocking the action of angiotensin II, a substance that causes blood vessels to constrict. By relaxing and widening blood vessels, valsartan helps lower blood pressure and reduce strain on the heart.
