WHAT CO-DIOVAN IS
USED FOR
Co-Diovan is used to control high
blood pressure, also called
hypertension.
Everybody has blood pressure. This
pressure helps get your blood all
around your body.
Your blood pressure may be different
at different times of the day,
depending on how busy or worried
you are. You have hypertension (high
blood pressure) when your blood
pressure stays higher than is needed,
even when you are calm and relaxed.
High blood pressure increases the
workload of the heart and blood
vessels. If it continues for a long
time, it can damage the blood vessels
in the brain, heart and kidneys. This
can lead to stroke, heart failure or
kidney failure. High blood pressure
increases the risk of heart attacks.
Lowering your blood pressure
reduces the chance of these disorders
happening.
Co-Diovan contains valsartan and
hydrochlorothiazide. These
medicines reduce blood pressure in
two different ways.
1.
Valsartan blocks the effect of
angiotensin II, which is a
substance in the body that
tightens
