The oral medication Valsartan is used to treat high blood pressure and congestive heart failure. It belongs to a class of drugs call angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) which also includes irbesartan (Avapro), Iosartan (Cazaar) and candesartan (Atacand). Due to an impurity detected, NDMA, a chemical believed to cause cancer, a voluntary recall of all medications containing Valsartan was issued by the manufacturers working with the FDA.
