Hello, Maggie! How are you?

Was your blood pressure still not under control?

That 160mgs of Valsartan daily is actually equivalent to 40mgs of Benicar daily.

The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination and hypotension.

Was taking Benicar 20 mg. Benicar is considered a Tier 3 drug. Due to insurance changes, Talked to Dr about change to a Tier 2 drug. He prescribed Valsartin 160 mg. Is the strength of the Valsartin too high?
