DIOVAN, containing the active ingredient Valsartan, is an effective medication primarily used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and heart failure. By blocking the action of certain natural substances in the body that tighten blood vessels, DIOVAN helps to relax blood vessels, improving blood flow and lowering blood pressure.
DIOVAN is typically taken once daily, with or without food. It's important to follow your healthcare provider's instructions regarding the dosage and duration of treatment. Do not discontinue use without consulting your doctor.
Common side effects may include dizziness, fatigue, abdominal pain, and headache. Serious side effects are rare, but may include low blood pressure, kidney problems, and allergic reactions. If you experience any severe reactions, seek medical attention immediately.
DIOVAN may interact with other medications, including diuretics, potassium supplements, and NSAIDs. Always inform your healthcare provider of all medications and supplements you are taking.
Store DIOVAN at room temperature, away from moisture and heat. Keep out of reach of children.
Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized medical advice and before starting any new medication. Your healthcare professional can provide guidance based on your individual health needs and conditions.
