The recommended dosage of this medication is to take one tablet once daily, with or without food, preferably at the same time each day (e.g., in the morning).

For patients with mild to moderate hepatic impairment, the daily dose of Valsartan should not exceed 80 mg.

Safety and efficacy in pediatric patients under 18 years old have not been established, and therefore the administration of this medication is not recommended.

This medication can cause serious harm to the fetus if taken during pregnancy, especially in the second and third trimesters, so it should be discontinued immediately upon confirmation of pregnancy. This medication should not be used in women who are allergic to the active ingredients, pregnant or breastfeeding, patients with severe renal or liver disease, or those with certain heart diseases. Caution is required when administering this medication to patients with insufficient sodium or fluid levels in the body, as there is a risk of excessively low blood pressure, and appropriate treatment must be received immediately if symptoms of hypotension occur. Patients with high potassium levels or those taking medications that may increase potassium levels should have their potassium levels monitored frequently. This medication should be used carefully in patients with renal artery stenosis or those who have received a kidney transplant, as it may impact renal function. If symptoms of angioedema occur, treatment should be stopped immediately and should not be resumed, and patients recovering from heart failure or myocardial infarction should use it while periodically monitoring renal function. Special caution is needed when administering to patients with acute myocardial infarction or certain valve diseases. When used in combination with other blood pressure medications, there may be an increased risk of hypotension, worsening renal function, and hyperkalemia, so blood pressure, renal function, and electrolyte status should be closely monitored during combined therapy. Caution is advised while driving or operating machinery as dizziness or fatigue may occur. In case of overdose, severe hypotension or abnormal heart rate may arise, requiring immediate medical attention. Furthermore, this medication is not recommended for patients under 18 years of age due to insufficient evidence of safety and efficacy.
