Valsartan comes under the auspices of an angiotensin II inhibitor or angiotension II receptor antagonist. As already pointed out, it is for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure).

any drug ends with suffix -sartan is a angiotensin II receptor blocker, which prevents the action of the powerful vasoconstrictor enzyme:angiotensin II , those -sartans work as ACEI and more better because they don't cause some side effects caused by ACEI(angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors) like dry cough.
