User Comments about Diovan HCT

20 Jul 2011	In my case Diovan HCT works for me a lot.. with it, my BP is under control, no fast heartbeats unlike in the previous med I was taking. Most importantly I don't feel any side effects except that I just feel a bit gassy.... other than that it is perfect for me..... —Posted by Virginia Respond Display Name: Email: (Required) Notify me of new comments Email me monthly survey results Sending...

20 May 2010	although there is a slight decrease in blood pressure, Diovan is NOT helping to lower my blood pressure to a normal number. —Posted by Anonymous Respond Display Name: Email: (Required) Notify me of new comments Email me monthly survey results Sending... I agree to the Terms of Use
05 Jan 2010	I started taking Diovan HCT to combine 2 of my blood pressure medications which I liked a lot because it eliminated 1 pill I had to take. It has worked well in lowering my blood pressure without any noticeable side effects. —Posted by Anonymous Respond Display Name: Email: (Required) Notify me of new comments Email me monthly survey results Sending...
