Diovan HD

Diovan or valsartan treats high blood pressure. In the category of ARBs or angiotensin receptor blockers, the drug reduces the likelihood of cough, a major factor associated with the even more popular ACE inhibitors such as lisinopril or enalapril. Controversy surrounds falsified medical investigations in Japanese studies which led to major embarrassment for the Kyoto Heart Study. Worse yet, relatively recent questions exist about ARBs and their potential relation to cancer.
