Pharmacy Diovan Order Online

Diovan High blood pressure treatment Diovan (generic name Valsartan) is one of a new class of blood pressure medications called angiotensin II receptor antagonists. Diovan works by preventing the hormone angiotensin II from narrowing the blood vessels, which tends to raise blood pressure. Diovan may be prescribed alone or with other blood pressure medications, such as diuretics that help the body get rid of excess water. Diovan HCT provides just such a combination. It contains Diovan plus the common diuretic hydrochlorothiazide. Diovan also has a stimulative effect on the heart and is prescribed for heart failure in patients who can't tolerate another type of medication called ACE inhibitors.

Diovan Uses

Diovan is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist used to treat high blood pressure. It may also be used to treat congestive heart failure and other conditions as determined by your doctor.

Diovan How To Take

Diovan and Diovan HCT can be taken without or with food. Try to get in the habit of taking the medication at the same time each day- e.g. before or after breakfast. This way you'll be less likely to forget your dose. You must take Diovan regularly for it to be effective. Since blood pressure declines gradually, it may be several weeks before you realize the full benefit of Diovan, and you must continue taking it even if you are feeling well. Diovan does not cure high blood pressure; it merely keeps it under control.

Diovan Side Effects

Side effects cannot be anticipated. If any develop or change in intensity, tell your doctor as soon as possible. Only your doctor can determine if it is safe for you to continue taking Diovan or Diovan HCT. Side effects may include: Abdominal pain, allergic reactions, back pain, blurred vision, cough, diarrhea, dizziness, fainting, fatigue, headache, joint pain, low blood pressure, nausea, runny nose, sinus inflammation, sore throat, swelling, swollen mouth and throat, upper respiratory infections, vertigo, viral infections

Diovan Medical Precautions

In rare cases, Diovan and Diovan HCT can cause a severe drop in blood pressure. The problem is more likely if your body's supply of water has been depleted by high doses of diuretics. Symptoms include light-headedness or faintness, and are more likely when you first start taking the medicine. Diovan HCT can also cause dry mouth, weakness, muscle cramps, nausea, drowsiness, and vomiting. Speak to your doctor if any of these symptoms occur. You may need to have your dosage adjusted.

Do not take Diovan or Diovan HCT while pregnant. Avoid both medications if they cause an allergic reaction, and do not take Diovan HCT if you have ever had an allergic reaction to a Sulfa drug such as Bactrim or Septra. Also avoid Diovan HCT if you have trouble urinating.
