Valturna contains a combination of aliskiren and valsartan. Aliskiren is an anti-hypertensive (blood pressure lowering) medication. It works by decreasing substances in the body that narrow blood vessels and raise blood pressure. Valsartan keeps blood vessels from narrowing, which lowers blood pressure and improves blood flow.
