What is Diovan Hct

ValsartanThe Generic name of this drug

Treatment SummaryValsartan is a medication that belongs to a class of drugs called angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs). These drugs are used to lower blood pressure, reduce aldosterone levels, and increase the excretion of sodium. They work by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a protein that causes blood vessels to constrict and increases fluid retention. Valsartan is often used to treat hypertension, heart failure, and Type 2 Diabetes-associated nephropathy. It is generally well-tolerated with fewer side effects than other antihypertensive medications. Valsartan was approved in

Effectiveness

How Diovan Hct Affects PatientsValsartan works by blocking the effects of angiotensin II, a hormone that helps regulate blood pressure. When taking this drug, people may experience a drop in blood pressure, and could be more likely to have low blood pressure if they are dehydrated or taking diuretics. It is important to be careful when starting treatment in patients with heart failure, as the drug can cause further reduction in blood pressure. If this happens, the patient should be put in a lying down position and may need to receive a saline solution. In rare cases, taking valsartan can lead to an increase in potassium levels, especially in

How Diovan Hct works in the bodyValsartan is a medication used to lower blood pressure. It belongs to the angiotensin II receptor blocker family of drugs, which block angiotensin receptor 1 and prevent angiotensin II from binding. This helps reduce hypertension, lower aldosterone levels, reduce cardiac activity, and increase sodium excretion. Valsartan also works on the renin-angiotensin aldosterone system, which helps regulate kidney, vascular, and cardiac functions. It has been shown to improve cardiovascular outcomes and reduce risk of heart attack, stroke, and heart failure. It is commonly used to manage hypertension, heart
