That is how I arrived at this board. But I don't get it. This might not be the manufacturer? Perhaps we need to research Pharmaceutical World or trazodone + .com.

It works further down the raas system, so that is why there is less side effects than say ace inhibitors.. All drugs that lower your blood pressure are great if you have high blood pressure, as this can trigger other more serious conditions such as stroke, mi, and also diabetes.... so as long as your blood pressure is being kept in check it is a good thing..... valsartan is also known as an ANGIOTENSIN RECEPTOR BLOCKER.....and if the drug is working for you that is great..... -------------------- ss Read More in our Valsartan (Diovan) Forum Forum Sulfamethoxazole - unexpected benefits?
