Valsartan (Generic Diovan)
What Is Valsartan?
Valsartan is a medication that is taken to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and certain heart-related conditions.
The drug belongs to a group of angiotensin II receptor blockers which work by blocking the hormone angiotensin II to lower blood pressure.
Valsartan is available in generic form (generic Diovan) as well as under the brand names Diovan and Prexxartan.
How Does Valsartan Work?
Being a receptor blocker, Valsartan works by blocking the effects of the hormone angiotensin. This means it cannot bind to the receptors that are found on blood vessels and other tissues stopping them from restricting and narrowing which helps enhance blood flow and improve blood pressure as well as stimulate aldosterone production.
Valsartan also indirectly reduces the secretion of the hormone aldosterone, which in turn encourages the kidneys to excrete sodium and water, further helping to lower blood pressure.
What Is Valsartan Used For?
Valsartan is used for a variety of different conditions, mainly lowering blood pressure. Through dilating the blood vessels, blood can flow through more easily and is less likely to become blocked.
Other uses for Valsartan include:
- Managing heart failure
- As a treatment post-heart attack to help reduce the risk of further events or complications
- As part of combination therapy with other medicines
- Treating diabetic nephropathy, a kidney disorder common in people with diabetes, usually as part of a broader treatment plan
What Are the Side Effects of Valsartan?
Valsartan can come with certain side effects. So before taking Valsartan, it’s important to consult with your doctor or healthcare professional to discuss any potential side effects
If you do experience any adverse effects, get in touch with a healthcare professional immediately to ensure they are kept under control.
Some of the more common side effects of Valsartan include:
- Dizziness or lightheadedness
- Fatigue or weakness
- Headaches
- Coughing
- Higher blood potassium levels
- Stomach pain
- Diarrhea
- Back pain
Some of the more serious side effects, and those you need to get urgent medical attention for, include:
- An allergic reaction that impacts the skin such as a rash, severe itching, or swelling
- Low blood pressure which can result in fainting or blurred vision
- A reduction in your kidney function
- Angioedema where swelling happens in the deeper layers of the skin and can lead to difficulty breathing
- Pancreatitis
- Changes to your liver function
The listed side effects above are not an exhaustive list. Also, not everyone will experience these side effects and individual reactions can vary. If any side effects do occur that are not listed above, please contact your healthcare professional for further advice.
How to Take Valsartan?
The exact dose for Valsartan will depend on guidance given by your healthcare provider as it can depend on the individual case and whether you are using it alone or as a combination drug.
Try to take Valsartan at the same time every day – whether this is morning or evening is up to you and it can be taken both with or without food. If you forget to take a dose, take your next one as soon as you remember, but never take a double dose to make up for it.
