Is valsartan a generic drug?

Is valsartan available as a generic?

Yes. Valsartan is an established generic medication in many markets, because the original brand-name product’s market exclusivity ended and generic versions entered the market.

Which brand used to be valsartan?

Valsartan was originally marketed under brand names such as Diovan (and others by region). Generic valsartan products typically use the same active ingredient (valsartan) but may differ in manufacturer and non-medicinal ingredients.

Is every “valsartan” product the same as the original?

Generics must match the original drug’s active ingredient and meet regulatory requirements for bioequivalence. However, the pills may look different and can have different excipients, even though the core medicine is the same.
