A few common side effects of Diovaal 160 Tablet 10:

Management Of Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Diovaal 160 Tablet 10. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor. Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Nausea: Taking Diovaal 160 Tablet 10 with food may help reduce feelings of sickness.
Dizziness: Consider taking this medicine at bedtime to minimise the impact of dizziness on your daily activities.

Diovaal 160 Tablet 10 contains valsartan (160 mg), which works on the body as follows:

Angiotensin II Receptor Blockade: Valsartan blocks the action of a hormone called angiotensin II, which normally causes blood vessels to narrow. By blocking these receptors, the medicine helps blood vessels relax and widen.
Blood Vessel Relaxation: The medicine causes the walls of your blood vessels to relax, which makes them wider. This lowers the resistance to blood flow and reduces the pressure within your blood vessels.
Reduced Heart Workload: By decreasing blood pressure and improving blood flow, valsartan reduces the amount of work your heart needs to do to pump blood throughout your body. This is especially helpful for people with heart failure.

Pregnancy

Take care while taking Diovaal 160 Tablet 10 if you are pregnant. This medicine may cause harm to your developing baby. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.
