What Is Diovan Used For?
Diovan is used for the treatment of high blood pressure. This medication is also used for the treatment of patients after a heart attack or chronic heart failure when they are unable to tolerate the standard treatment with ACE inhibitors. Diovan belongs to a class of drugs known as
Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (ARBs). You can recognize an ARB because its medicinal ingredient ends in “-SARTAN”. It lowers blood pressure by blocking a naturally produced hormone in the body known as Angiotensin II. This hormone is produced in the body to increase blood pressure when it becomes too low. Blockade of Angiotensin II by Diovan helps to control high blood pressure. Diovan also keeps blood vessels from narrowing which lowers the blood pressure and improves the blood flow.
