My husband has been prescribed diovan for high blood pressure. How long before they take effect please? It can take a few weeks. This drug is not a diuretic. Go here for everything you should know http://www.drugs.com/diovan.html... get the bugger insured quickly Up to a month. Most highblood pressure pills are also diuretics and it should start taking effect instantly within an hour after he takes the pill. But he should continue taking them as prescribed so that his hypertension can remain controlled. The effects start as soon as you start taking the medication, but it won't be working 100% untill you've been taking it regularly for a few weeks. I am on same meds and the doc claims at least three weeks. Do one other thing and every couple of weeks or once a month go to office and get BP reading. Sometimes meds quit working and it can be dealt with then and there. Most doctors do not charge for the BP reading...call and find out. A lot of them will say "Do you have a cuff at home?" I tell them that the readings are not accurate and prefer to come in! |
