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.
