Co-Diovan(Valsartan+Hydrochlorothiazide) 160/12.5mg tablets

Co-Diovan (Valsartan + Hydrochlorothiazide) 160mg/12.5mg Tablets – Effective Combination for Hypertension and Heart Failure

Overview

Co-Diovan combines two active ingredients: Valsartan (160mg), an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), and Hydrochlorothiazide (12.5mg), a thiazide diuretic. This combination is used primarily for the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension) and to reduce the risk of heart failure-related complications. Valsartan helps relax blood vessels, while Hydrochlorothiazide helps remove excess salt and water from the body, which lowers blood pressure and reduces the strain on the heart.

Key Benefits of Co-Diovan Tablets

• Effective Blood Pressure Control – The combination of Valsartan and Hydrochlorothiazide works together to lower blood pressure, helping to prevent complications like stroke, heart attack, and kidney damage.
• Reduces Heart Failure Risk – Co-Diovan is used to treat heart failure, reducing the workload on the heart and preventing further damage.
• Dual Action Formula – While Valsartan helps widen blood vessels to improve blood flow, Hydrochlorothiazide aids in reducing fluid retention, providing comprehensive hypertension management.
• Convenient Fixed-Dose Combination – The fixed-dose combination of Valsartan and Hydrochlorothiazide makes it easier for patients to manage their condition with fewer pills.
• Improves Cardiovascular Health – Helps protect the heart and blood vessels, leading to better cardiovascular health in patients with high blood pressure or heart failure.

How to Use Co-Diovan Tablets

• Dosage – The typical starting dose is one tablet of 160mg/12.5mg once daily, or as directed by your healthcare provider based on your blood pressure and overall condition.
• Swallow Whole – Take the tablet with a full glass of water. Do not crush or chew the tablet.
• With or Without Food – Co-Diovan can be taken with or without food, as preferred.
• Consistency – Take the medication at the same time each day for maximum benefit.
• Missed Dose – If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it’s almost time for your next dose. Do not take two doses to make up for a missed one.

Precautions & Safety Information

• Not suitable for individuals with severe kidney problems, liver disease, or those who are allergic to Valsartan, Hydrochlorothiazide, or any other ingredients in the tablet.
• Common Side Effects – Some users may experience dizziness, lightheadedness, fatigue, or electrolyte imbalances, such as low potassium or sodium levels.
• Monitor Blood Pressure and Kidney Function – Regular monitoring of blood pressure and kidney function is necessary during treatment to ensure the medication is working as intended.
• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding – Co-Diovan is not recommended during pregnancy, particularly in the second and third trimesters, as it may harm the developing fetus. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
• Drug Interactions – Inform your healthcare provider about any other medications you are taking, including other blood pressure medications, diuretics, or potassium supplements.
• Avoid Dehydration – Be cautious with fluid intake during hot weather or exercise, as Hydrochlorothiazide can increase the risk of dehydration.
