A member asked:
I read that valsartan lowers blood pressure by 8-10 points but when i took 80mg i went down to 107/60s from 130s/80s after a couple of months. now i take 40mg and get around 118-123/70s. only 80mg is fda approved for hypertension so what's going on?

Every body is unique and responds to medication differently. Many factors contribute to high blood pressure. If you made other changes to your lifestyle at the same time while adding this medication, this may have been the reason for a more pronounced blood reassure lowering. Rejoice that you have to take less medicine and continue on with your life.
