DATE OF REVISION 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. BEFORE YOU USE DIOVAN Follow all the doctor’s instructions carefully.
