Olmesartan Medoxomil is indicated for the treatment of hypertension. It may be used alone or in combination with other antihypertensive agents.
Valsartan is prescribed for: Hypertension, Heart Faliure & Post-Myocardial Infraction.
Valsartan is indicated for the treatment of hypertension. It may be used alone or in combination with other antihypertensive agents.
Heart Failure
Valsartan is indicated for the treatment of heart failure (NYHA class II-IV). In a controlled clinical trial, Valsartan significantly reduced hospitalizations for heart failure.
Post-Myocardial Infarction
In clinically stable patients with left ventricular failure or left ventricular dysfunction following myocardial infarction, Valsartan is indicated to reduce cardiovascular mortality.
Valsartan seems a med with multiple applications so perhaps the doc may have prescribed it assessing your medical conditions.
