VALSAR 80

Do not use Valsar 80 in people with the following conditions:

• Hypersensitivity: Valsar 80 should not be used in individuals who have a known hypersensitivity or allergic reaction to Valsar 80 or any other components of the medication. Signs of a hypersensitivity reaction may include rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, or difficulty breathing.
• Pregnancy: Valsar 80 is contraindicated during pregnancy, especially in the second and third trimesters. It has been associated with fetal harm and can cause injury or death to the developing fetus. If you become pregnant while taking Valsar 80, you should immediately inform your healthcare provider.
• Severe hepatic impairment: Valsar 80 should be used with caution in individuals with severe liver disease or hepatic impairment. The medication is primarily metabolized in the liver, so impaired liver function can affect its clearance from the body.
• Bilateral renal artery stenosis: Valsar 80 is not recommended for use in individuals with bilateral renal artery stenosis (narrowing of both renal arteries). It may further decrease kidney function and lead to acute renal failure.
• Use with aliskiren in patients with diabetes: The concomitant use of Valsar 80 and aliskiren, a drug used to treat hypertension, is contraindicated in patients with diabetes. This combination has been associated with an increased risk of renal impairment, hypotension, and hyperkalemia.

Valsar 80 may have the following side effects:

• Dizziness: Valsar 80 can cause dizziness, especially when standing up from a sitting or lying position. It’s advisable to get up slowly to minimize the risk of falls.
• Fatigue: Some individuals may experience fatigue or tiredness while taking Valsar 80. If this occurs, it’s recommended to rest and pace yourself until the fatigue improves.
• Headache: Headaches are a possible side effect of Valsar 80. Drinking plenty of water and taking over-the-counter pain relievers as directed by a healthcare provider can help alleviate this symptom.
• Nausea and vomiting: Valsar 80 may cause gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea and vomiting. If these symptoms are persistent or severe, it’s important to inform your healthcare provider.
• Back pain: Back pain has been reported as a side effect of Valsar 80. If the pain becomes severe or persists, it should be discussed with a healthcare provider.
• Hypotension: Valsar 80 can cause low blood pressure (hypotension) in some individuals. Symptoms may include dizziness, light-headedness, or fainting. It’s important to rise slowly from a seated or lying position to minimize the risk of hypotension.
• Hyperkalemia: Valsar 80 may occasionally lead to an increase in potassium levels in the blood (hyperkalemia). This is more likely to occur in individuals with pre-existing kidney problems or those taking other medications that can raise potassium levels. Regular monitoring of potassium levels may be necessary.

Interactions

Valsar 80 may interact with the following medicines:

• Potassium supplements and potassium-sparing diuretics: Combining Valsar 80 with potassium supplements or medications that conserve potassium, such as certain diuretics, can increase the risk of hyperkalemia (elevated potassium levels in the blood). Close monitoring of potassium levels is recommended in such cases.
• Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs): NSAIDs, including ibuprofen and naproxen, may reduce the effectiveness of Valsar 80 and can also impair kidney function. It’s advisable to consult your healthcare provider before using NSAIDs while taking Valsar 80.
• Lithium: Concurrent use of Valsar 80 and lithium, a medication used to treat bipolar disorder, may increase the levels of lithium in the blood. Close monitoring of lithium levels is necessary if these medications are used together.
• Medications that increase blood pressure: Certain medications, such as decongestants and nonselective NSAIDs, can raise blood pressure. Combining these medications with Valsar 80 may counteract its antihypertensive effects. It’s advisable to consult your healthcare provider before using these medications together.
• Medications that decrease blood pressure: Combining Valsar 80 with other antihypertensive medications, such as beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, or ACE inhibitors, may further lower blood pressure. Close monitoring is necessary to prevent excessively low blood pressure.
• Alcohol: Drinking alcohol while taking Valsar 80 may enhance the blood pressure-lowering effects of the medication and increase the risk of dizziness or fainting. It’s advisable to limit or avoid alcohol consumption.
