Description
Little advice is not to consume the medicine within 4 hours of going to bed as it’s one way of working is to make you urinate more because of the diuretic or water pill it contains. Do not think of it as a side effect. Patients who are prone to high blood pressure must take it regularly even if they feel better as it decreases the risk of heart attack or stroke.
It is advised not to use this medicine if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. It must not be paired with any potassium supplements or salt substitutes until and unless the doctor has prescribed it. Kindly, confirm with the doctor on its usage if you have kidney or liver disease, diabetes or heart issues. Also, avoid alcohol consumption to its best.

Benefits
Two medicines, namely Valsartan and Hydrochlorothiazide are combined to form the Co-Diovan 160/25. They both have separate yet effective ways to control blood pressure effectively. Valsartan medicine relaxes and widens the patient’s blood vessels for easier blood flow, lowering the blood pressure.
Hydrochlorothiazide, on the other hand, is a water pill, also known as a diuretic that increases urine output which lowers blood pressure. Take the medicine regularly without any breaks and at the same time each day for more effective results. This will keep the hypertension or high blood pressure in check, and decrease the risk of kidney failure, heart attack or stroke.
