What Happens if I Overdose?

As the saying goes, “Excess of everything is bad.” This fits perfectly on medications. Taking more dose than the prescribed limit will give rise to more health complications. Whether it is Diovan or any other medicines, you should never take overdose of any medicine.

Effects of Overdose


If you take more than prescribed level of Diovan, you will face some issues such as:
·         Slow heartbeat
·         Slow pulse rate
·         Feeling that you will die
·         Dizziness

These are only some of the negative implications of overdose of Diovan that you will have to deal with. There are many others but they vary with patient to patient. The severity of the symptoms also varies greatly among different patients. Most importantly, if you see any of the above-mentioned indication after an overdose of Diovan, you must seek professional medical attention without wasting any time.

When you take the overdose of Diovan, your blood pressure drops below the normal level and your pulse rate falls. Moreover, you will feel the effects of dizziness and tiredness in some cases too. Some patients have also complained about the feeling that they may pass out after taking an overdose of Diovan.


Avoid taking overdose of Diovan at all cost because like other medicines, it will do more harm than good. Follow the doctor’s instructions about the doses and timings of the dose. Never change the dose yourself without consulting with your doctor. Let the doctor decide which dose is perfect for you.
