Diovan Tablet 320mg (Valsartan) is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and heart failure. It helps relax blood vessels, improve blood flow, and reduce the workload on the heart.

The tablet works by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a chemical in the body that narrows blood vessels. This results in lower blood pressure and better heart function. Regular use under medical supervision helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and other cardiovascular complications.
