Diovan (valsartan) is a long‑established prescription medicine widely used in the USA to help manage high blood pressure and protect the heart. It belongs to a class of medicines called angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) and is available in film‑coated tablets at U.S.‑standard strengths: 40 mg, 80 mg, 160 mg, and 320 mg. In adults, it is indicated for the treatment of hypertension, for heart failure (NYHA class II–IV) to reduce the risk of hospitalization, and to improve survival after a myocardial infarction (heart attack). Generic valsartan is also available and is often a more affordable option.
In the United States, Diovan requires a prescription from a licensed clinician. You can start your order online; a valid prescription will be verified or, where legally permitted, a telehealth visit can be arranged to evaluate whether valsartan is appropriate for you. Orders are filled by U.S.‑licensed pharmacies and shipped discreetly to your address.
Diovan (valsartan) price and savings in the USA
Pricing varies by tablet strength, quantity, and whether you choose brand‑name Diovan or generic valsartan. Many U.S. patients use insurance, manufacturer copay cards (when eligible), or pharmacy discount programs to lower out‑of‑pocket costs. While the brand is typically more expensive, generic valsartan provides the same active ingredient and clinical effect when used as directed by your prescriber.
Common package sizes include 30, 60, and 90 tablets. Larger fills often reduce per‑tablet cost. If you have questions about current prices or eligibility for savings programs, our support team can guide you to resources, coupons, and insurance coordination. Note: pricing provided at checkout reflects U.S. pharmacy rates at the time of ordering and may change.
Tip for long‑term therapy: consult your prescriber about 90‑day supplies and mail‑order delivery. These options may offer better value and fewer refills, while helping maintain adherence for chronic conditions like hypertension.

What is Diovan (valsartan)?
Diovan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). Angiotensin II is a natural substance that tightens blood vessels and raises blood pressure. Valsartan selectively blocks angiotensin II at the AT1 receptor, helping relax blood vessels and lower blood pressure. This reduction in vascular resistance can also reduce strain on the heart, which is why valsartan is used in heart failure and after a heart attack.
Key indications in U.S. prescribing information include:
- Hypertension (adults and pediatric patients 6–16 years): to lower blood pressure and help reduce the risk of serious cardiovascular events when used as part of an overall risk‑reduction strategy determined by your clinician.
- Heart failure (NYHA class II–IV): to reduce the risk of hospitalization for heart failure.
- Post‑myocardial infarction: to improve survival following a heart attack, particularly in patients with left ventricular dysfunction.
Valsartan is not a beta‑blocker or a diuretic. It may be used alone or in combination with other blood pressure medicines (such as calcium channel blockers, thiazide diuretics, or beta‑blockers) to reach your target blood pressure.
How Diovan works (mechanism of action)
Valsartan blocks the binding of angiotensin II to the AT1 receptor in many tissues, including vascular smooth muscle and the adrenal gland. This leads to vasodilation, decreased aldosterone release, less sodium and water retention, and ultimately a reduction in blood pressure. Unlike ACE inhibitors, valsartan does not inhibit bradykinin breakdown, so dry cough occurs less frequently. However, both drug classes affect the renin‑angiotensin system (RAS) and share similar safety considerations, particularly regarding kidney function and potassium levels.
Diovan dosing and administration
Your dose is individualized by your prescriber based on your condition, other medications, and your response to therapy. The following reflects typical U.S. labeling guidance; always follow your clinician’s instructions:
Hypertension (adults)
Usual starting dose is 80 mg once daily. Some patients may start at 160 mg once daily. The dose can be titrated based on response up to a maximum of 320 mg once daily. Maximal effect on blood pressure may be observed within 2–4 weeks after a dose change.
Pediatric hypertension (6–16 years)
Initial dose commonly begins at approximately 1.3 mg/kg once daily (up to 40 mg once daily) and may be titrated to a maximum of about 2.7 mg/kg once daily (up to 160 mg), depending on response and tolerability. Pediatric dosing and monitoring should be directed by a clinician experienced in pediatric hypertension.
Heart failure (NYHA class II–IV)
Typical starting dose: 40 mg twice daily. The dose may be uptitrated at intervals to 80 mg twice daily and then 160 mg twice daily as tolerated. The goal is to achieve the highest tolerated dose for optimal benefit.
Post‑myocardial infarction (MI)
Therapy is often initiated as early as 12 hours after an MI once the patient is hemodynamically stable. Starting dose is commonly 20 mg twice daily, titrated to 40 mg, 80 mg, and then 160 mg twice daily as tolerated. Dosing must be individualized by the treating cardiology team.
Administration tips
Take Diovan with or without food, but try to be consistent: if you always take it with food, continue that routine. Swallow tablets with water at the same time each day. Do not change your dose or stop taking valsartan without speaking to your prescriber, even if you feel well. High blood pressure often has no symptoms, but untreated hypertension increases cardiovascular risk.
Missed dose and overdose
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for your next dose. Do not double up to make up for a missed dose. In case of overdose, seek medical attention or contact a poison control center (in the U.S., call 1‑800‑222‑1222) immediately. Overdose may present with significant hypotension (low blood pressure) and dizziness.
Common side effects of Diovan
Many people take valsartan without experiencing serious side effects. The most commonly reported include:
- Dizziness or lightheadedness, especially when starting therapy or after a dose increase
- Headache or fatigue
- Low blood pressure (hypotension), particularly in patients who are volume‑depleted (e.g., on high‑dose diuretics)
Less common but important adverse effects include:
- Increased potassium levels (hyperkalemia), which may present with muscle weakness or heart rhythm changes
- Worsening kidney function or changes in creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN)
- Angioedema (rapid swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat), which requires immediate medical attention
Report persistent or severe symptoms to your healthcare provider. Seek urgent care for signs of a serious allergic reaction, fainting, severe dizziness, chest pain, or difficulty breathing.
Boxed warning: pregnancy and Diovan
WARNING: Drugs that act directly on the renin‑angiotensin system, including valsartan, can cause injury and death to the developing fetus when used during pregnancy. Discontinue Diovan as soon as pregnancy is detected. If you are planning to become pregnant or think you might be pregnant, talk to your clinician about safer alternatives. Patients who can become pregnant should use effective contraception while taking valsartan.
Breastfeeding
Because of the potential for adverse effects in a nursing infant, discuss the risks and benefits of treatment with your clinician. Alternative therapies may be preferred during lactation.
Drug interactions
Always tell your prescriber and pharmacist about all medicines you take, including prescriptions, non‑prescription drugs, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Key interactions include:
- Other RAS agents (ACE inhibitors, aliskiren): dual blockade with an ARB increases risks of hypotension, high potassium, and kidney impairment. Concomitant use with aliskiren is contraindicated in patients with diabetes; generally avoid combining with ACE inhibitors.
- Potassium‑sparing diuretics (e.g., spironolactone, eplerenone), potassium supplements, or salt substitutes containing potassium: increased risk of hyperkalemia.
- NSAIDs (e.g., ibuprofen, naproxen): may reduce the antihypertensive effect and increase the risk of kidney problems, especially in dehydrated or elderly patients.
- Diuretics: may potentiate hypotension when valsartan is started; clinicians may adjust diuretic dose.
- Lithium: risk of increased lithium levels and toxicity; monitor closely if co‑administered.
This is not a complete list. Your clinician will help reduce interaction risk by reviewing your regimen and ordering appropriate labs when needed.
Warnings, precautions, and who should not take Diovan
Do not take valsartan if you are allergic to valsartan or any component of the tablet. Avoid use with aliskiren in patients with diabetes. Inform your prescriber if you have any of the following:
- Kidney problems, a kidney transplant, or renal artery stenosis
- Liver disease or biliary obstruction
- Electrolyte imbalances (high potassium)
- Dehydration, severe vomiting/diarrhea, or recent excessive diuretic use
- Heart conditions and any history of angioedema
Valsartan can cause low blood pressure, particularly after the first dose or a dose increase, more so if you are salt‑ and volume‑depleted. Your clinician may correct dehydration before starting. Periodic monitoring of kidney function and potassium is recommended.
Clinical use and expected benefits
Lowering high blood pressure helps reduce the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney problems. In heart failure, Diovan can reduce hospitalizations by improving hemodynamics and neurohormonal status. After a heart attack, valsartan contributes to improved survival by reducing adverse remodeling and controlling blood pressure.
Remember, medication is one part of a comprehensive plan. Your clinician may also recommend lifestyle measures such as reducing sodium intake, increasing physical activity, maintaining a healthy weight, moderating alcohol consumption, and quitting smoking.
How fast does Diovan start working and how long does it last?
Some patients begin to notice blood pressure improvements within 1–2 weeks, with full effect often seen by 4 weeks. In heart failure and post‑MI settings, dosing is titrated gradually to target doses as tolerated. Consistency is key: take your medicine daily and keep follow‑up appointments for monitoring.
Comparing Diovan to other ARBs
Valsartan is one of several ARBs available in the U.S., including losartan, candesartan, irbesartan, olmesartan, and telmisartan. All ARBs block the effects of angiotensin II at the AT1 receptor but differ in pharmacokinetics, dosing, and certain labeled indications. Your clinician selects an ARB based on your comorbidities, prior response, insurance coverage, and tolerability.
Some fixed‑dose combinations pair valsartan with hydrochlorothiazide (a thiazide diuretic) or with amlodipine (a calcium channel blocker) to help more patients reach their blood pressure goals. If your BP remains above target on single‑agent therapy, ask your clinician about combination options.
Practical tips from our pharmacists
Create a daily routine (e.g., morning with breakfast or evening before bed) so you dose consistently. Use a pill organizer and set reminders. Keep a blood pressure log and bring it to appointments. If you feel dizzy when standing, rise slowly. Stay well hydrated unless your clinician has advised fluid restriction.
Tell all healthcare providers that you take valsartan, including your dentist and any specialists. Before using over‑the‑counter products, ask your pharmacist—some cold/flu remedies and NSAIDs can raise blood pressure or interfere with kidney function. Avoid salt substitutes that contain potassium unless your clinician approves them.
Monitoring while on Diovan
Your care plan may include periodic tests and checks:
- Blood pressure and heart rate
- Kidney function (serum creatinine, BUN)
- Serum electrolytes (particularly potassium)
- Symptoms of hypotension, dizziness, or swelling
After initiating or titrating valsartan—or when adding interacting medicines—your clinician may schedule labs within 1–2 weeks, then at intervals. Prompt reporting of unusual symptoms helps fine‑tune your dose for safety and benefit.
Storage and handling
Store tablets at room temperature in the original container, protected from moisture and excessive heat. Keep the bottle tightly closed and out of reach of children and pets. Do not use past the expiration date. If your tablets look damaged or discolored, consult your pharmacist before use.
Quality, authenticity, and U.S. compliance
All medications are sourced from U.S.‑licensed manufacturers or authorized distributors. Prescriptions are dispensed by U.S.‑licensed pharmacies in accordance with federal and state regulations. Prior to shipment, your order is reviewed by a pharmacist for appropriateness and potential interactions based on the information you provide.
Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
Is Diovan available as a generic?
Yes. Valsartan is the generic for Diovan. Generics must meet FDA standards for quality, strength, and effectiveness. Your prescriber and pharmacist can help decide whether brand or generic is right for you based on your medical needs and insurance coverage.
Can I stop Diovan if my blood pressure is normal?
Do not stop without medical advice. Blood pressure can rise again after discontinuation. Your clinician will determine if and when therapy can be tapered or stopped, typically based on sustained BP goals and overall cardiovascular risk.
Does Diovan cause cough?
Dry cough is more commonly associated with ACE inhibitors. ARBs like valsartan have a much lower incidence. If you experience troublesome cough, talk to your prescriber to rule out other causes.
What if my blood pressure is still high on Diovan?
Your clinician may adjust the dose, verify adherence, review other medications, recommend lifestyle changes, or add a second agent (e.g., a diuretic or calcium channel blocker) to reach your target blood pressure.
Can I drink alcohol while taking Diovan?
Alcohol can enhance blood pressure‑lowering effects and may increase dizziness. Use caution and ask your clinician for individualized guidance.

Special populations and dose considerations
Elderly patients may be more sensitive to the blood pressure‑lowering effects of valsartan, especially those with impaired kidney function or who are taking diuretics. Dose adjustments may be necessary. In patients with hepatic impairment or biliary obstruction, exposure to valsartan can be increased; careful titration and monitoring are advised. For patients with severe renal impairment, your clinician will weigh benefits and risks and monitor more frequently.
Lifestyle and home blood pressure monitoring
Home blood pressure monitors are widely available in the U.S. Keep a log with the date, time, and readings (e.g., morning and evening, seated, after 5 minutes of rest). Bring or send these logs to your appointments. Ask your clinician how to position the cuff correctly and the targets you should aim for based on your personal risk profile.
When to call your clinician
Call promptly if you experience any of the following:
- Swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat; difficulty breathing (possible angioedema)
- Severe dizziness, fainting, or very low blood pressure
- Marked decrease in urination, unusual fatigue, or signs of high potassium (muscle weakness, abnormal heartbeat)
For medical emergencies, dial 911. For non‑urgent issues—such as mild dizziness or questions about timing doses—contact your clinician or pharmacist for advice.
Responsible use and medication adherence
Take Diovan exactly as prescribed. Skipping doses can reduce protection against complications of hypertension and heart disease. If cost or side effects are making it hard to stay on therapy, talk with your clinician. Many strategies—like dose changes, combination therapy, or switching to a different ARB—can improve tolerability and affordability while keeping you on track.
