WHAT DIOVAN IS USED FOR
Diovan is used to treat high blood
pressure in adults. High blood
pressure increases the workload of
the heart and arteries. If it continues
for a long time, it can damage the
blood vessels of the brain, heart, and
kidneys, and may result in a stroke,
heart failure, or kidney failure. High
blood pressure increases the risk of
heart attacks. Lowering your blood
pressure to normal reduces the risk of
developing these disorders.
Diovan is used to treat adult heart
failure patients. Heart failure is
associated with shortness of breath,
and swelling of the feet and legs due
to fluid build-up. Heart failure means
that the heart muscle cannot pump
blood strongly enough to supply all
the blood needed throughout the
body.
Diovan can also be used to treat
adults after a heart attack (myocardial
infarction) to improve survival and
reduce further heart problems.
HOW DIOVAN WORKS
Angiotensin II is a natural substance
in the body that causes blood vessels
to tighten, thus causing your blood
pressure to increase. Diovan works
by blocking the effect of angiotensin
II. As a result, blood vessels relax and
blood pressure is lowered.
If you have any question about how
Diovan works or why this medicine
has been prescribed for you, ask your
doctor.
