1. What Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Sandoz is and what it is used for
Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Sandoz film-coated tablets contain two active substances known as valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide. These components help control high blood pressure (hypertension).
- Valsartan belongs to a class of medicines known as “angiotensin II receptor antagonists” which help control high blood pressure. Angiotensin II is a substance in the body that causes blood vessels to narrow, leading to increased blood pressure. Valsartan works by blocking the effect of angiotensin II. As a result, blood vessels relax and blood pressure decreases.
- Hydrochlorothiazide belongs to a class of medicines known as thiazide diuretics. Hydrochlorothiazide increases urine production, which also lowers blood pressure.
Valsartan/hydrochlorothiazide is used to treat high blood pressure that is not adequately controlled with a single component.
Hypertension increases the workload on the heart and arteries. If left untreated, it can damage blood vessels in the brain, heart, and kidneys, and may lead to stroke, heart failure, or kidney failure. High blood pressure also increases the risk of heart attacks. Lowering blood pressure to normal levels reduces the risk of developing these conditions.
2. What you need to know before taking Valsartán/Hidroclorotiazida Sandoz
Do not take Valsartán/Hidroclorotiazida Sandoz
- if you are allergic to valsartan, hydrochlorothiazide, sulfonamide derivatives (substances chemically related to hydrochlorothiazide), or any of the other components of this medicine (listed in section 6),
- if you are more than 3 months pregnant (it is best to avoid taking Valsartán/Hidroclorotiazida Sandoz, even in early pregnancy – see Pregnancy section),
- if you have severe liver disease, destruction of the small bile ducts in the liver (biliary cirrhosis) leading to bile accumulation in the liver (cholestasis),
- if you have severe kidney disease,
- if you are unable to produce urine (anuria),
- if you are undergoing treatment with an artificial kidney,
- if you have abnormally low levels of potassium or sodium in your blood, or if your blood calcium levels remain high despite treatment,
- if you have gout,
- if you have diabetes or renal impairment and are being treated with a blood pressure-lowering medicine containing aliskiren.
If any of these situations apply to you, do not take this medicine and consult your doctor.
Warnings and precautions
Consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking Valsartán/Hidroclorotiazida Sandoz
- if you are taking potassium-sparing medicines, potassium supplements, potassium-containing salt substitutes, or other medicines that increase blood potassium levels, such as heparin. Your doctor may consider regular monitoring of your potassium levels,
- if you have low potassium levels in your blood,
- if you experience severe diarrhea or vomiting,
- if you are taking high doses of a diuretic,
- if you have severe heart disease,
- if you have heart failure or have recently had a heart attack. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully regarding the initial dose. Your doctor may also monitor your kidney function,
- if you have narrowing of the artery supplying the kidney (renal artery stenosis),
- if you have recently undergone a kidney transplant,
- if you have hyperaldosteronism, a condition in which the adrenal glands produce too much aldosterone hormone. In this case, valsartan/hydrochlorothiazide is not recommended,
- if you have kidney or liver disease,
- if you have previously experienced swelling, mainly of the tongue and face, while taking other medicines (including ACE inhibitors). If you develop these symptoms, stop taking valsartan/hydrochlorothiazide and contact your doctor immediately. Do not restart valsartan/hydrochlorothiazide. See also section 4, “Possible side effects”,
- if you develop fever, skin rash, and joint pain, which may be signs of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE, a known autoimmune disease),
- if you have diabetes, gout, or high cholesterol or triglyceride levels in your blood,
- if you have previously had an allergic reaction to another medicine of this class used to lower blood pressure (angiotensin II receptor antagonists), or if you suffer from any type of allergy or asthma,
- if you experience a decrease in vision or eye pain. These could be symptoms of fluid accumulation in the vascular layer of the eye (choroidal effusion) or increased eye pressure, which may occur from hours to weeks after taking valsartan/hydrochlorothiazide. This may lead to vision loss if untreated. If you have previously been allergic to sulfonamides or penicillin, you may be at higher risk,
- it may cause increased skin sensitivity to sunlight,
- if you have had skin cancer or develop an unexpected skin lesion during treatment. Treatment with hydrochlorothiazide, particularly long-term use at high doses, may increase the risk of certain types of non-melanoma skin and lip cancers. Protect your skin from sun exposure and UV rays while taking Valsartán/Hidroclorotiazida Sandoz,
- if you have previously experienced respiratory or lung problems (such as inflammation or fluid in the lungs) after taking hydrochlorothiazide. If you develop shortness of breath or severe breathing difficulty after taking valsartan/hydrochlorothiazide, seek medical attention immediately,
- if you are taking any of the following medicines used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure):
- an ACE inhibitor (e.g., enalapril, lisinopril, ramipril), especially if you have kidney problems related to diabetes,
- aliskiren.
If any of these situations apply to you, consult your doctor.
Your doctor may monitor your kidney function, blood pressure, and blood electrolyte levels (e.g., potassium) at regular intervals.
See also the information under the heading “Do not take Valsartán/Hidroclorotiazida Sandoz”.
Consult your doctor if you think you are (or might become) pregnant.
The use of valsartan/hydrochlorothiazide is not recommended at the beginning of pregnancy and must not be administered from the third month of pregnancy onward, as it may cause serious harm to your baby (see Pregnancy section).
Contact your doctor if you experience abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea after taking valsartan/hydrochlorothiazide. Your doctor will decide whether to continue treatment. Do not stop taking valsartan/hydrochlorothiazide on your own.
Children and adolescents
The use of valsartan/hydrochlorothiazide is not recommended in children and adolescents (under 18 years of age).
Other medicines and Valsartán/Hidroclorotiazida Sandoz
Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might need to take any other medicines.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or are planning to become pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medicine.
You must inform your doctor if you suspect you are (or might be) pregnant.
Generally, your doctor will advise you to stop taking valsartan/hydrochlorothiazide before becoming pregnant or as soon as pregnancy is confirmed, and will recommend an alternative antihypertensive treatment.
Valsartan/hydrochlorothiazide is not recommended during early pregnancy and must not be used from the third month of pregnancy onward, as it may cause serious harm to your baby when used from that stage.
Inform your doctor if you are planning to breastfeed or are already breastfeeding.
Valsartan/hydrochlorothiazide is not recommended for women during this period. Your doctor may decide to prescribe a more suitable treatment if you wish to breastfeed, especially if the infant is a newborn or premature.
Driving and using machines
Before driving a vehicle, operating tools, handling machinery, or engaging in other activities requiring concentration, make sure you are aware of how valsartan/hydrochlorothiazide affects you. Like many other medicines used to treat high blood pressure, Valsartán/Hidroclorotiazida Sandoz may rarely cause dizziness and affect your ability to concentrate.
3. How to take Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Sandoz
Always take this medicine exactly as prescribed by your doctor. This will help you achieve the best results and reduce the risk of adverse effects. Consult your doctor or pharmacist if you have any doubts.
People with high blood pressure often do not experience any symptoms and may feel perfectly normal. This makes it very important to keep your appointments with your doctor, even if you feel well.
Your doctor will tell you exactly how many tablets of valsartan/hydrochlorothiazide you should take. Depending on your response to treatment, your doctor may decide to adjust the dose upwards or downwards.
- The recommended dose of Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Sandoz is one tablet daily.
- Do not change the dose or stop treatment without consulting your doctor.
- This medicine should be taken at the same time every day, usually in the morning.
- You may take valsartan/hydrochlorothiazide with or without food.
- Swallow the tablet with a glass of water.
If you take more Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Sandoz than you should

If you have accidentally taken too many tablets, contact your doctor, pharmacist, or hospital. You may also contact the Toxicology Information Service at telephone number 91 562 04 20, indicating the medicine and the amount taken.
If you forget to take Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Sandoz
If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose.
Do not take a double dose to make up for forgotten doses.
If you stop taking Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Sandoz
If you stop treatment with Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Sandoz, your hypertension may worsen. Do not stop taking the medicine unless instructed by your doctor.
