The FDA approves various valsartan dosages for adults, depending on the condition being treated. Always follow your doctor’s prescription.
Hypertension
For hypertension (high blood pressure), typical starting doses range from 40mg to 160mg once daily. Your doctor might adjust this based on your response. Higher doses, up to 320mg daily, may be used, but this requires careful monitoring.
Heart Failure
In heart failure, dosing is more individualized. Treatment often begins with a lower dose, gradually increasing under medical supervision. Maximum daily dose considerations vary depending on individual patient factors and should be determined by a physician.
