What is Valsartan (Diovan)?

What is Valsartan (Diovan) used for?

How Valsartan (Diovan) works

Valsartan (Diovan) is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). It lowers blood pressure by blocking angiotensin II, a hormone that's naturally found in the body.

Angiotensin II typically raises your blood pressure by squeezing the blood vessels. It also tells your body to release another hormone called aldosterone. Aldosterone raises the amount of water your body absorbs, which also raises your blood pressure.

Pharmacist tips for Valsartan (Diovan)

pharmacist

  • Make sure to mark your calendar with your appointments to see your primary care provider (PCP) or cardiologist and to get any blood work done when you take valsartan (Diovan). Your care team will order tests (e.g., potassium level, kidney function, blood pressure) during treatment and might change your dose of valsartan (Diovan) based on your lab results.

    • After starting valsartan (Diovan), you'll probably notice a drop in blood pressure within a week. But it can take several weeks to get the full blood pressure-lowering effect of the medication. Sometimes, your PCP or cardiologist might need to adjust your dose of valsartan (Diovan) to find a dose that works best for you. Continue taking valsartan (Diovan) as directed by your healthcare team.

      • If you're taking valsartan (Diovan) 4 mg/mL liquid, store the medication at room temperature. Make sure to only use a medication dose cup or oral syringe from the pharmacy to measure the dose. Don't use household spoons; they might not be accurate and using them can cause you to take the wrong dose of valsartan (Diovan).

        • While you're taking valsartan (Diovan), you're recommended to measure and record your blood pressure at home and bring a record to your medical appointments. This will help your PCP or cardiologist see how well the medication is working for you and guide any dose changes.

          • You might feel dizzy when you start taking valsartan (Diovan), and when the dose is raised. This should get better over time as you continue taking the medication and your body gets used to your new blood pressure.

            • Take valsartan (Diovan) exactly as prescribed. Don't change your dose or stop taking it suddenly without talking to your primary care provider or cardiologist first. Otherwise, your blood pressure might rise quickly. Ask your prescriber about the safest way to stop valsartan (Diovan).

              • Make sure to tell your care team about all the medications you're taking before you start valsartan (Diovan). Also, don't start taking any new medications without talking to your care team first. Since valsartan (Diovan) can interact with other medications, it's best for your care team to check that all your medications are safe for you to take.

                • Valsartan (Diovan) can raise your potassium levels, which can be serious. Ask your PCP or cardiologist if you need to limit foods that are high in potassium. Make sure to tell your care team about all the medications you're taking to lower your risk. Contact your prescriber if you experience nausea, vomiting, or muscle weakness because these might be signs of high potassium levels.

                  • If you're pregnant or thinking of getting pregnant, contact your PCP or cardiologist right away. Valsartan (Diovan) isn't safe to take during pregnancy, so you'll need to switch to a medication that's safer for your baby.

                    faqs

                    Frequently asked questions about Valsartan (Diovan)

                    How much does valsartan (Diovan) lower blood pressure?
                    A study found that people taking valsartan (Diovan) 80 mg or 160 mg per day saw their systolic blood pressure (the "top" number) drop by an average of 14 mmHg. In addition, they saw their diastolic blood pressure (the "bottom" number) drop by an average of 11 mmHg. But keep in mind that how much valsartan (Diovan) can lower blood pressure can depend on many factors, such as your dose, how long you've been taking valsartan (Diovan), and your race. Talk to your primary care provider or cardiologist if you're concerned with how well valsartan (Diovan) is working for you.
                    How long do valsartan (Diovan) side effects last?
                    It'll depend on the side effect. Some common side effects like dizziness, fatigue, and headache, might get better over time as you continue to take the medication and your body gets used to your new blood pressure. But more serious side effects, like the risk for kidney problems, can stay with you as long as you're taking valsartan (Diovan). Tell your healthcare team right away if you notice symptoms of kidney problems, such as swelling or urinating less. Talk with your primary care provider or cardiologist if you're concerned about any specific valsartan (Diovan) side effect.
                    Does valsartan (Diovan) cause coughing?
                    Yes, it's possible for valsartan (Diovan) to cause a dry cough. However, ARBs, like valsartan (Diovan), are less likely to make you cough than ACE inhibitors. Healthcare providers will typically switch to a medication like valsartan (Diovan) in people who complain of having a dry cough from an ACE inhibitor. If you experience a dry cough from valsartan (Diovan) that's too bothersome, let your prescriber know. They might consider lowering your dose or switching you to a different medication.
                    Does valsartan (Diovan) cause weight gain?
                    No, weight gain isn't a typical side effect of valsartan (Diovan). Let your primary care provider or cardiologist know if you experience unusual or unexpected weight gain while taking valsartan (Diovan). They can try to help you figure out what's causing this weight gain.
                    Does valsartan (Diovan) lower heart rate?
                    No. Studies show valsartan (Diovan) doesn't lower heart rate; it only lowers your blood pressure based on how the medication works.
                    Is valsartan (Diovan) an ACE inhibitor?
                    No. Valsartan (Diovan) is an ARB, not an ACE inhibitor. Both ARBs and ACE inhibitors work similarly to prevent angiotensin II from raising blood pressure, but they work in different parts of the body to achieve this. They're both first-choice options for heart conditions like high blood pressure and heart failure. A major difference between both medication classes is ARBs are less likely to cause certain side effects, such as dry cough, compared to ACE inhibitors.
                    Is valsartan (Diovan) a beta blocker?
                    No, valsartan (Diovan) isn't a beta blocker; it's an ARB. While both classes of medications are used to lower blood pressure, they do so in different ways. Beta blockers work by acting on the heart and blood vessels. Valsartan (Diovan) lowers blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels. If you're taking valsartan (Diovan), your prescriber might consider adding on a beta blocker, depending on factors like what other medical conditions you have and how high your blood pressure is.
                    What's the difference between valsartan and losartan?
                    Both valsartan (Diovan) and losartan (Cozaar) are ARBs and are very similar to each other. They're considered to work just as well as each other, although one large study found that valsartan (Diovan) worked better than losartan (Cozaar). Both medications also cause similar side effects. The choice between valsartan (Diovan) and losartan (Cozaar) often comes down to insurance coverage and prescriber preference.
                    Can valsartan (Diovan) be cut in half?
                    Ask your pharmacist or prescriber if you can cut valsartan (Diovan). Some valsartan (Diovan) tablets have a score line (line in the middle of the tablet to cut). This usually means they can be cut in half. If you'd rather not cut valsartan (Diovan) tablets, you can ask your prescriber about switching you to the oral liquid.

                    What are the risks and warnings for Valsartan (Diovan)?

                    Valsartan (Diovan) can cause some serious health issues. This risk may be even higher for certain groups. If this worries you, talk to your doctor or pharmacist about other options.

                    risk-warning

                    Harm to unborn baby

                    Don't take valsartan (Diovan) if you're pregnant because the medication can cause severe harm your unborn baby. This medication can affect how well the unborn baby's kidneys develop and work, which can be life-threatening.

                    Stop taking valsartan (Diovan) and let a member of your healthcare team know right away if you find out that you're pregnant during treatment. Discuss with your primary care provider or cardiologist about taking a different medication that's safer to treat your blood pressure if you're pregnant or thinking of becoming pregnant.

                    risk-warning

                    Low blood pressure

                    • Risk factors: Not enough fluid in your body | Having diarrhea or vomiting for a long time | Low salt levels in your body | Taking higher doses of diuretic mediations

                      Although rare, valsartan (Diovan) can cause your blood pressure to drop too much. This can make you feel dizzy, tired, or lightheaded. Having these symptoms of low blood pressure is more common when you first start valsartan (Diovan) or when your dose gets raised. You're also at risk if you're dehydrated or if you have medical conditions that cause you to become dehydrated, such as too much diarrhea or vomiting.

                      Make sure to stay well-hydrated. Be sure to sit down slowly while holding onto something if your blood pressure drops too much and you feel dizzy. Let your care team know if your blood pressure gets too low or if you feel dizzy, lightheaded, faint, tired, or confused while you're taking valsartan (Diovan). Get medical help right away if you fall and hit your head.

                      risk-warning

                      Kidney damage

                      • Risk factors: Severe heart failure | Kidney problems | Not enough fluid in your body | Taking other medications that can cause kidney damage

                        Although valsartan (Diovan) is sometimes used to protect the kidneys, it's also possible for the medication to affect your kidneys in a way that causes them to not work as well. This can happen to anyone. But the effects can be more serious in people with severe heart failure, people with certain kidney problems, or people who take medications that can worsen kidney function.

                        Your primary care provider or cardiologist might order lab tests every so often during treatment to make sure your kidneys are healthy and working properly. Your care team might recommend that you stop taking the medication if you develop kidney problems (or if your kidney problems worsen) while you're taking valsartan (Diovan). Let your primary care provider or cardiologist know if you're urinating less often than usual, as this could be a sign that your kidneys aren't working as well.

                        risk-warning

                        High potassium levels

                        • Risk factors: Taking other medications that can raise potassium levels | Kidney problems

                          ARBs like valsartan (Diovan) can cause high potassium levels. Your risk is higher if you take valsartan (Diovan) with other medications that can raise potassium, such as spironolactone (Aldactone) or eplerenone (Inspra). Tell your healthcare team right away if you experience signs of high potassium levels, such as nausea, muscle weakness, or abnormal heartbeat. You'll probably need your potassium levels checked. If left untreated, high potassium levels can be dangerous.
