What is Diovan HCT?

Diovan HCT is a combination medication containing hydrochlorothiazide and valsartan which is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and is usually given once other blood pressure medications have been tried without success. Valsartan keeps blood vessels from narrowing which improves blood flow and lowers blood pressure while hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic (water pill) which prevents your body from absorbing too much salt causing fluid retention.

Always read the patient information and instructions carefully before using this medication.

• Diovan HCT should be taken orally with or without food and is typically taken once daily. This medication may cause you to urinate more frequently so it is best to take at least four hours before bedtime.
• Your Diovan HCT dosage is based on your medical condition and your response to treatment. Do not change your dosage or the frequency you take this medication unless advised by a doctor.
