I am taking Diovan 160 mg daily for the past 2 years and lately i have been experiencing some sort of vertigo espacially when i lie down on my bed on the left side.Can somebody on Diovan tell me if he has experienced any form of vertigo ## Diovan contains the active ingredient Valsartan, it is used to treat high blood pressure. And yes, these medications can cause this type of problem and orthostatic hypertension. Have you consulted your doctor about this, yet? You may require a medication adjustment or a switch to a different medication. I've been taking one in the same class and, gradually, over time, it has been lowering my blood pressure far too much and causing these same types of symptoms, so we've had to keep lowering the dosage.

I am taking amlong 5 and Ramistar 5 for high blood pressure and Dionorm m for diebetes (170-190) from last seven years. can I take it continuously ## Hello, Rana! How are you? You should take the medications as instructed by your doctor, for as long as they tell you that they are necessary. Yes, there can be some slight risks associated with the long-term use of any medication, but your risks would be far greater if you don't keep your medical conditions under control. Are there any other questions or concerns?

I've recently been diagnosed with bipolar disorder type II, an under active thyroid gland, insulin resistance, familial high cholesterol, anti-bodies attacking my thyroid gland, lowered iron absorption and also lowered DHEA.

My mom just started taking diovan for her hp and she has diabetes.Sence she has started taken it her sugar level has gone up to 200. Is there anyone else who is on diovan and has diabetes? Any input would be great!CArrie ## Diovan should not cause your mother's blood sugars to go up. Diovan works to protect her kidneys from renal failure, a common disorder with diabetes when not in tight control. She should be monitoring her blood sugars four times daily if they are high and be careful of what she is eating. ## Yes my Mother takes Diovan and has diabetes, since she started her pressure is really low(confused on that). she's 90 ## Yes, I called the company & they stated it should not affect my blood sugar, however, it was 200+ for the 2 days I took it. My meds have been chang...

codeine analgesic ## This is a medication that is not available in the U.S. so finding information on it is very difficult. The only thing I have managed to discover is that it is a combination of Diclofenac Sodium 50mgs, which is an anti-inflammatory and Codeine 50mgs, which is a narcotic pain reliever.

Are the ingredients in Diovan 160 mg and Losartan 100-25 mg comparable if I run out of one can I switch to other? ## Hi Elaine, As far as comparing these drugs, I think it's not wise to assume that they have similar properties, since everyone can react differently to one or the other, despite having an equivalent dosage. If you're used to taking one or the other and have your doctors permission, I'd say it's fine to switch off between the two. However, at the same time I wouldn't necessarily anticipate having the same relief or results from two entirely different medications. On a side note: Eating whole foods that have little to no sodium and which are high in potassium and magnesium are solid dietary options for lowering blood pressure. These foods primarily includ...

I have been taking Benicar 20mg for high blood pressure and it was working in combination with two other meds. My drug plan had my doctor change it to Diovan 160mg. Does the Diovan need to be such a large dose compared to the Benicar? Both are angiotensin II receptor meds so do they work the same way? ## Hi Forrest, Even though both of these medications are angiotensin II receptor antagonists and both work by blocking the binding of angiotensin II to the AT1 receptor in many tissues, they still have completely different chemical structures by which the drugs themselves are synthetically constructed. It's really just this factor along with any other inactive ingredients (binders and fillers) that are put in each tablet, which can determine how each drug is metabolized by your body. I...

Help me to find about identification of hesperidin and diosmin by HPLC ? ## Diosmin is a flavanoid drug that is commonly used to treat venuous diseases. In the U.S. it is only considered a supplement and not a prescription medication.
