Overdose of any drug can be dangerous for health and Diovan is no exception. Medicines are only useful if they are taken according to the doctor’s advice. Failure to follow the doctor’s instruction when it comes to dosage or usage can have serious negative implications on your health. Here is brief guideline about how you should take Diovan.
Diovan should be taken by mouth and it is highly recommended to swallow it as a whole instead of breaking the capsule. For children who cannot swallow the capsule as a whole, you can give it in the form of syrup by using a special measuring spoon. Make sure you check your blood pressure regularly.
Never take larger or smaller dose of Diovan than the doctors prescribed limit. Never make changes in the dose yourself, always consult with your doctor and he approves the change in dose, then it is fine. You should keep patience and be consistent because Diovan takes time to show its effects. The time it take to bring your blood pressure to a stable level is somewhere around 1-3 weeks.
Although, Diovan will not completely uproot your high blood pressure problem but it will keep your blood pressure normal and prevent it from rising again. It acts slowly but it is very effective for hypertension and high blood pressure patients. Discuss with your doctor if you have kidney disease, liver disease or have any allergy because Diovan can cause problems for such patients.
