Diovan (Valsartan) 160mg Tablets – Effective Treatment for High Blood Pressure and Heart Failure

Overview

Diovan contains Valsartan (160mg), an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), which is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and to improve the functioning of the heart in patients with heart failure. Valsartan works by relaxing blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily, which in turn lowers blood pressure and reduces the strain on the heart.

Key Benefits of Diovan Tablets

• Reduces High Blood Pressure – Valsartan helps to lower blood pressure by blocking the action of a substance in the body that causes blood vessels to constrict. This helps reduce the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney problems.
• Improves Heart Failure Management – Diovan is commonly used in patients with heart failure, as it reduces the workload on the heart and helps improve symptoms, such as shortness of breath and fluid retention.
• Protects Kidney Function – By lowering blood pressure, Diovan also helps protect the kidneys from damage caused by high blood pressure, especially in diabetic patients.
• Single-Ingredient Formula – As a standalone treatment, Diovan allows for precise dosage adjustments based on individual needs for managing blood pressure and heart failure.

How to Use Diovan Tablets

• Dosage – The typical starting dose for Diovan 160mg is one tablet once daily, or as directed by your healthcare provider based on your condition and response to treatment.
• Swallow Whole – Take the tablet with a full glass of water. Do not crush or chew the tablet.
• With or Without Food – Diovan can be taken with or without food.
• Consistency – For optimal results, take Diovan at the same time each day.
• 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 liver or kidney problems, or those who are allergic to Valsartan or any other ingredients in the tablet.
• Common Side Effects – Some people may experience dizziness, lightheadedness, fatigue, or a feeling of low blood pressure, especially when standing up quickly.
• Monitor Blood Pressure – Regular blood pressure checks are essential to ensure the medication is working effectively.
• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding – Diovan is not recommended during pregnancy, especially in the second and third trimesters, as it can harm the fetus. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant.
• Drug Interactions – Inform your healthcare provider about any other medications you’re taking, especially those for blood pressure, kidney or heart conditions, and potassium supplements.
• Avoid Dehydration – Be cautious with fluid intake, particularly in hot weather or during physical activity, as Diovan may cause dehydration or low blood pressure.
