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. They may
differ from the general information
contained in this leaflet.
