Product Description 9. Manufacturer and Product Registration Holder 10. Date of Revision WHAT CO-DIOVAN IS USED FOR Co-Diovan contains an angiotensin-II receptor antagonist and a diuretic, which help control high blood pressure. Co-Diovan is used to treat high blood pressure. High blood pressure increases the workload of the heart and arteries (blood vessels). If it continues for a long time, it can damage the blood vessels of the brain, heart, 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. HOW CO-DIOVAN WORKS Angiotensin II is a natural substance in the body that causes blood vessels to tighten, thus causing your blood pressure to increase. Valsartan in Co-Diovan blocks the effect of angiotensin II. As a result, blood vessels relax and blood pressure is lowered. Diuretics reduce the amount of salt and water in the body by increasing the flow of urine. With longer use this helps to reduce and control blood pressure. If you have any questions about how Co- Diovan works or why this medicine has been prescribed for you, ask your doctor. BEFORE YOU USE CO-DIOVAN You may take Co-Diovan only after a medical examination. Co-Diovan may not be suitable for all patients. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully.
