What is Diovan HCT used for?
Diovan HCT is used for the treatment of high blood pressure. High blood pressure leads to increased workload on heart and arteries. If this condition continues for a long time, it can lead to damage to the blood vessels of brain, heart, and kidneys and may eventually lead to stroke, heart failure or kidney failure. Reduction in blood pressure also reduces the risk of developing these illnesses. Diovan HCT is a combination of two drugs: valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide. Valsartan is angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB). 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 valsartan helps to control high blood pressure. Valsartan also keeps blood vessels from narrowing which lowers the blood pressure and improves the blood flow. Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic or “water pill” which increases urination. This helps to lower the blood pressure. Together valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide lower the blood pressure. However, Diovan HCT does not cure high blood pressure. It only helps to control it. Hence, it is important to continue taking the medicine even if you feel fine.
