How Does It Work?

Diovan is part of a class of drugs called angiotensin II receptor blockers. As you might expect, it blocks angiotensin II receptors. This decreases the effectiveness of a chemical known as angiotensin II, which normally causes blood vessels to narrow (constrict). By blocking its effects, Diovan causes blood vessels to relax, which can lower blood pressure.
