In patients with hypertension in controlled clinical trials, the incidence of adverse events was comparable to placebo. There is no data on the dependence of the frequency of any of the undesirable events on the dose or duration of treatment, as well as sex, age or race.The safety profile of Valsartan-SZ in patients with hypertension aged 6 to 18 years does not differ from the safety profile of valsartan in adult patients.
Below are the undesirable phenomena that were observed during clinical trials, as well as with the use of the drug in clinical practice.
To assess the frequency of adverse events, the following criteria were used: "very often" (≥1 / 10), "often" (≥1 / 100, <1/10), "infrequently" (≥1 / 1000, <1/100), "rarely" (≥1 / 10000, <1/1000), "very rarely" (<1/10000), including individual messages. Within each group allocated according to frequency of occurrence, undesirable phenomena are distributed in order of decreasing importance.
For all the undesirable phenomena found in clinical practice and in the analysis of laboratory indicators (the frequency of development of which can not be established), the gradation "frequency unknown" was used.
