- Used to treat heart diseases and high blood pressure, Diovan contains the active ingredient Valsartan, which is a medication from the class of angiotensin 2 receptor antagonists. - Angiotensin 2 is part of the renin-angiotensin system, a substance that causes blood vessel constriction and stimulates the release of aldosterone, which causes sodium retention in the body and the excretion of potassium, leading to increased water retention and high blood pressure. - By blocking angiotensin 2 receptors, blood vessels dilate, and blood pressure is reduced.
