1.
WHAT CO-DIOVAN IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Co-Diovan film-coated tablets contain two active substances called
valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide.
Both of these substances help to control high blood pressure
(hypertension).

VALSARTAN
belongs to a class of medicines known as “angiotensin II receptor
antagonists”, which
help to control high blood pressure. Angiotensin II is a substance in
the body that causes vessels
to tighten, thus causing your blood pressure to increase. Valsartan
works by blocking the effect
of angiotensin II. As a result, blood vessels relax and blood pressure
is lowered.

HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE
belongs to a group of medicines called thiazide diuretics (also known
as
“water tablets”). Hydrochlorothiazide increases urine output,
which also lowers blood pressure.
Co-Diovan is used to treat high blood pressure which is not adequately
controlled by a single substance
alone.
High blood pressure increases the workload of the heart and arteries.
If not treated, it can damage the
blood vessels of the
