Valsartan Capsules
Function and Efficacy
This product is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist. This product can selectively act on the AT1 receptor subtype known to be related to the action of angiotensin II, selectively block the binding of angiotensin II to the AT1 receptor of tissue cells such as the adrenal glands and vascular smooth muscle, inhibit vasoconstriction and aldosterone secretion, and produce a hypotensive effect. The affinity of this product for AT1 receptors is about 20,000 times higher than that for AT2 receptors. This product does not affect the action of bradykinin and ion channel function, nor does it bind to the receptors of other hormones that play an important regulatory role in cardiovascular function. This product has no carcinogenic, teratogenic, mutagenic toxicity, and no reproductive toxicity.
