RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR DIOVAN | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
5 | HBP | None really. Just feel the heat and sweat a lot and wondered if that is caused by the medication. Anyone else? | F | 76 | 0 years 160 1X day | 8/9/2022 | 5 | High blood pressure | Anxiety, eczema, psoriasis, insomnia, brain fog & rash in ears. | I took the diovan 7 years & changed to the generic since 2012. The rashes has been terrible. Every doctor I saw would just say there were so many things that could cause the rashes ( eczema & psoriasis). I’ve been having Light Treatments on my hands because I wanted a treatment that didn’t involve steroids all the time. I saw a NP and talked her into changing my Meds. She was hesitant but after my crying spell she agreeded. She did give me a steroid shot because my excema was so bad. Two months has gone by and I’ve not had to do my Light Treatment or put drops in my ear or used steroid cream on my face. Also sleeping very well and not waking up itching all the time. I’m starting a diet to see if I can get my BP down naturally. | F | 60 | 18 years 160 12.5 | 3/9/2018 | 5 | High blood pressure | None | Works for me | M | 73 | 20 years 320mg | 8/3/2017 | 5 | High Blood pressure (bypass 1997) | I have not had any side effects with either the brand name, or generic. | RE: PRICE. Check on goodrx.com. 30 tablets approx $15.00; 90 tablets approx $35.00 | F | 65 | 10 years 80 1X day | 12/1/2016 | 5 | Hypertension | Diovan is great. The FDA approved generics (Valsartan) that came out in 2014 are horrible. I''m filing claims with FDA/MedWatch. Don't take Camber's generic. It contains sodium & is manufactured in India. | ExpressScripts overcharges for Diovan & Valsartan. They will only give it to me in 2-week increments, even though my doctor writes prescriptions for 90-days of medication. I have a battle with ExpressScripts every two weeks so as not to run out of medication. $125 is an exorbitant price to pay for any generic for 2 weeks of meds. | F | 63 | 2 years 160 | 11/14/2016 | 5 | High BP | None. 80 mg for 20 yrs 120 mg for 5 yrs | Generic did not work for me. | F | 71 | 10 years 129 mg | 8/14/2016 | 5 | High BP | None. 80 mg for 20 yrs 120 mg for 5 yrs | Generic did not work for me. | F | 71 | 10 years 129 mg | 8/14/2016 | 5 | Hypertention | Severe itching and eczema periauricular around the nipple | I like it but i think i will stop it because of this itching | F | 48 | 1 years 160/12.5 | 5/13/2016 | 5 | HTN | I have taken brand Diovan for 8 years with absolutely no side effects. My health plan rerequires me to try generic valsartan, which did not work for me. This year once again my health plan is dictating my care and required me to try Benicar. The side effects were worse than the valsartan. I just got approved a second time for brand Diovan. I can't wait to feel normal again. I really wish the insurance companies would allow the doctors to treat their patients and not make us suffer through the wasted cost of trying drugs that are more problematic. | F | 47 | 1 days 160 | 3/7/2016 | 5 | I have to get overwritten and take | I did not have any side effects with diovan when they switched me to the generic diovan I have become very sick headache not feeling good and all it took was one dosage of the generic drug now I have to get it over written and get back on diovan if you're going to sell diovan then you need to sell diovan not the generic it does not work it causes side effects it has some compounds and Let Die oven does not | I will never ever take the generic drug of diovan again it is called Valley Staten and it made me extremely sick | F | 65 | 8 months 160 millig | 1/4/2016 | 5 | Hypertension | I have no side effects, except I get up 2 times a night to use rest room. Works great for me. | F | 64 | 1 years 12.5 | 10/11/2015 | 5 | High Blood Pressure | No side effects and does an excellent job of controlling my blood pressure. | M | 50 | 4 years 320 1X day | 4/2/2015 | 5 | HBP Recommended by Doc | None to my knowledge. As I age this and that happens but I attribute that to simply getting older. It definitely controls my blood pressure. | F | 69 | 20 years 80/12.5 1X day | 1/21/2015 | 5 | high blood pressure | I have not experienced any side effects | M | 16 | 4 months 80mg | 9/17/2013 | 5 | High blood pessure | None | I have had excellent results with Diovan. No side effects that I can tell, and I've been using it for at least 8 years. It works great. | F | 64 | 8 years 160 mg 1X day | 1/22/2013 | 5 | high blood pressure | Some vision. Higher the dose, greater the blurred vision | F | 58 | 6 years 80mg | 1/1/2013 | 5 | hypertension | headaches vision problems weakness | 55 | 3 years 160 | 1/11/2012 | 5 | HYPERTENSION | If I stop taking the Diovan, then I am exhausted and tired for about two weeks when I restart it. The exhaustion wears off as my body adjusts. | I was on another hypertension medicine which caused coughing. When I switched to Diovan, it worked better. | F | 50 | 3 years 320 MG 1X day | 7/22/2011 | 5 | hbp+kidneys | none as far as i can tell/i am still taking it. | I was told it is great for your kidneys. | M | 49 | 36 months 320 1X day | 4/23/2010 | 5 | hypertension/diabetes | I've taken 80mg diovan for 8 years, no noticeable side effects. | My doctor prescribed a BP pill after I'd had several high readings of 130/95+. I have type 1 diabetes and he said that ACE Inhibitors, such as Diovan, were successfully eliminating complications from diabetes in many patients. That convinced me to start taking yet another medication. The first BP pill he put me on caused me to cough, so he switched me to 80mg Diovan and I haven't had any problems since, plus my BP is now regularly 110/70. I'm sorry to hear others are struggling, the good news is there are a lot of BP pills out there so if one causes you problems there are always options. | F | 45 | 8 years | 12/7/2009 |
DIOVAN (VALSARTAN): Valsartan is used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure. It is also used to improve the chance of living longer after a heart attack. In people with heart failure, it may also lower the chance of having to go to the hospital for heart failure. Valsartan belongs to a class of drugs called angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs). It works by relaxing blood vessels so that blood can flow more easily. Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. FDA Approval Date: 1996-12-23 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
