How Long Does Diovan Take To Cure High Blood Pressure?
I have high blood pressure and take Norvasc 5 mg and Cozaar 100 mg each day. I ve had increased stress, and they do not seem to be enough any more to control my bp. My doctor has replaced the Cozaar with Diovan 320 mg. After three doses, my bp seems to be about the same as when I went in to the doctor with a headache on Friday (155/96). My heart rate is a bit higher than normal, too - 80s to 90s. How long does the Diovan take to begin showing improvement in my bp?

Hi,
It should start work from the first day, but usually it takes 1-2 week to have maximum effect. If there will be no effect after this period there may be need to add beta blocker if you have elevated heart rate. But before I would advise you to try to regulate your stress or take some mild medication for it
Wishing you good health
