Co-Diovan is a medication that combines two active ingredients, Valsartan and Hydrochlorothiazide, to effectively treat high blood pressure (hypertension) that cannot be sufficiently managed by a single medication. Valsartan works by relaxing and widening blood vessels, while Hydrochlorothiazide acts as a diuretic to increase urine production, reduce excess fluid, and lower blood pressure.
Anti-Hypertensives
Suggested Use
- Co-Diovan is indicated for the management of mild to moderate hypertension.
- It is effective in reducing the risk of complications like stroke, heart failure, and kidney damage associated with untreated high blood pressure.
- The typical initial dosage is one tablet (160mg/12.5mg) taken once daily. Your healthcare provider may modify the dosage according to your specific requirements and how you respond to the medication. It is important to stick to your doctor’s recommendations.
Warning
- Do not take this medication if you are allergic to valsartan, hydrochlorothiazide, or any of the ingredients in the tablets.
- Be careful if you have serious kidney or liver problems.
- Monitor your electrolyte levels, as this medicine can cause imbalances.
- Avoid using it if you are pregnant, and talk to your doctor if you become pregnant while on it.
- Let your doctor know about all the medications you are using, as Co-Diovan may interact with drugs like lithium and those for blood pressure.
- Always follow your healthcare provider’s advice and read the patient information leaflet.
