Valsartan is an orally active, specific and selective ARB. After a single oral morning dose, the onset of its BP-lowering action is within 2 hours, with peak effect occurring within 4 to 6 hours. Morning once-a-day dosing ranging from 80 to 320 mg/d results in BP reduction throughout the entire 24 hours. ref: www.google.com
