How Co-Diovan 12.5/160 works
Co-Diovan 12.5/160 is a combination of two medicines: Valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide which lower blood pressure effectively. Valsartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB). It works by blocking the hormone angiotensin thereby relaxing blood vessels. This allows the blood to flow more smoothly and the heart to pump more efficiently. Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic that removes extra water and certain electrolytes from the body. Over time it also relaxes blood vessels and improves blood flow.

Brief Description
Indication
Hypertension, Diabetic nephropathy
Adult Dose
Hypertension
1 tablet/day PO (80-160 mg valsartan/12.5-25 mg hydrochlorothiazide); may be titrated after 1-2 weeks of therapy; not to exceed 320 mg valsartan/25 mg hydrochlorothiazide daily
Renal Dose
Renal impairment:
CrCl (ml/min) Dosage Recommendation
<30 Not recommended.
Contraindication
Hypersensitivity to valsartan, hydrochlorothiazide or sulphonamides. Severe hepatic impairment, creatinine clearance <30ml/min, anuria, cirrhosis, biliary obstruction, conditions where there is increased potassium loss (e.g. salt losing nephropathies and pre-renal impairment of kidney function), refractory hypokalaemia, hyponatraemia, hypercalcaemia, hyperuricaemia, history of gout and uric acid stones, untreated Addison's disease. Pregnancy and lactation.
Mode of Action
Valsartan is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist and reduces blood pressure by blocking the vasoconstrictive and aldosterone-secreting effects of angiotensin II. Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic.
Precaution
DM, postsympathectomy patients. May exacerbate SLE. Monitor serum potassium regularly. Observe for signs of fluid or electrolyte imbalance. Discontinue before testing for parathyroid function. May affect ability to drive or operate machinery. Elderly.
Lactation: Discontinue drug, or do not nurse
Side Effect
1-10%
Valsartan
Hyperkalemia (4-10%),Dizziness (2-8%),Hypotension (1-7%),Fatigue (3%)

Interaction
Increased antihypertensive effect with other antihypertensive drugs. Monitor potassium frequently if used with potassium supplements, potassium-sparing diuretics, salt substitutes containing potassium, or drugs that may affect potassium levels (e.g. heparin, ciclosporin, drospirenone, amphotericin, corticosteroids, carbenoxolone). Reduced antihypertensive effect of valsartan and increased risk of renal impairment with NSAIDs. May reduce renal clearance of cytotoxic drugs (e.g. cyclophosphamide, methotrexate). Increased serum calcium with vitamin D or calcium salts.
Potentially Fatal: Increased lithium levels with valsartan, monitor lithium levels. Increased risk of cardiac arrhythmia with dofetilide, avoid use.
