Valsartan Sandoz is used when a group of medicines called\u00a0ACE inhibitors\u00a0(angiotensin-converting\u00a0enzyme\u00a0inhibitors) (a medicine to treat\u00a0heart failure\u00a0) cannot be used or as an addition to\u00a0ACE inhibitors\u00a0when other medicines to treat\u00a0heart failure\u00a0cannot be used. Symptoms of\u00a0heart failure\u00a0include shortness of breath and swollen feet and legs due to fluid retention.\u00a0Heart failure\u00a0is caused by the heart muscle not being able to pump enough blood around to supply the whole body with blood.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Valsartan Sandoz 320 mg film-coated tablets&nbsp;<strong>can be used<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul
