User Comments about Diovan HCT
20 Jul 2011 In my case Diovan HCT works for me a lot.. with it, my BP is under control, no fast heartbeats unlike in the previous med I was taking. Most importantly I don't feel any side effects except that I just feel a bit gassy.... other than that it is perfect for me.....

20 May 2010 although there is a slight decrease in blood pressure, Diovan is NOT helping to lower my blood pressure to a normal number.

05 Jan 2010 I started taking Diovan HCT to combine 2 of my blood pressure medications which I liked a lot because it eliminated 1 pill I had to take. It has worked well in lowering my blood pressure without any noticeable side effects.
