Description
Description: DIOVAN-320 mg is a medication available in tablet form, containing the active substance Valsartan. It is manufactured by Novartis Pharmaceuticals.
Indication: DIOVAN-320 mg is primarily indicated for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) in adults. It may be used alone or in combination with other antihypertensive agents to achieve optimal blood pressure control.
Mechanism of Action: Valsartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that works by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a hormone that constricts blood vessels and increases blood pressure. By blocking angiotensin II receptors, Valsartan dilates blood vessels, reduces peripheral resistance, and lowers blood pressure.
Dosage and Administration: The recommended dosage of DIOVAN-320 mg is one tablet (320 mg) taken orally once daily. It can be taken with or without food. The dosage may vary depending on the individual patient’s response and the severity of hypertension. It is essential to follow the dosage instructions provided by the healthcare provider.
Precautions:
- Patients with a history of hypersensitivity to Valsartan or any other components of the formulation should avoid using DIOVAN-320 mg.
- DIOVAN-320 mg should be used with caution in patients with renal impairment, as dosage adjustment may be necessary.
- Patients should be monitored regularly for changes in blood pressure, electrolyte levels, and renal function during treatment with DIOVAN-320 mg.
Adverse Reactions: Common adverse reactions associated with DIOVAN-320 mg may include dizziness, headache, fatigue, hypotension, hyperkalemia, and cough. Serious adverse reactions such as angioedema and renal impairment may occur but are rare.
Storage: DIOVAN-320 mg tablets should be stored at room temperature, away from moisture and heat. Keep the tablets in their original packaging and out of reach of children. Unused or expired tablets should be disposed of properly according to local regulations.
