Common questions about Valturna (aliskiren / valsartan)

Valturna (aliskiren / valsartan) is made up of two medications that lower your blood pressure. Aliskiren is a renin blocker, and valsartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). Renin and angiotensin II are both proteins that cause your blood vessels to tighten and become narrower, which raises your blood pressure. When Valturna (aliskiren / valsartan) blocks renin and angiotensin II, your blood vessels don't tighten as much, which lowers your blood pressure.

No, Valturna (aliskiren / valsartan) has been discontinued and is no longer available in the United States.

Valturna (aliskiren / valsartan) was discontinued after clinical evidence came out that showed the combination of ingredients in the medication caused harm to people with diabetes or kidney problems. After the FDA issued a warning about this risk, the manufacturer (Novartis) decided to discontinue Valturna (aliskiren / valsartan) in 2012.

There are several combination blood pressure medications that are safe and commonly used today for the treatment of high blood pressure. Examples include Hyzaar (losartan / hydrochlorothiazide), Exforge (amlodipine / valsartan), and Lotrel (amlodipine / benazepril). Your provider will help guide you to the best blood pressure treatment option for you.
