What is this? This is a blood-pressure tablet that mixes two medicines: valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide. It comes as a small film-coated pill.

What's happening? The maker cannot make enough of these pills right now. So the packs are out of stock.

Does this affect me? If your doctor gave you this exact pill, you may not be able to get it at the pharmacy.

What should I do? Ask your pharmacist or doctor for another tablet that works the same. Do not stop taking your blood-pressure medicine without advice.
