Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives : Difficulty breathing, swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat. In rare cases, valsartan can cause a condition that results in the breakdown of skeletal muscle tissue, leading to kidney failure. Call your doctor right away if you have muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness especially if you also have fever, nausea or vomiting, and dark colored urine.

Diovan® (valsartan) is indicated for the treatment of hypertension, to lower blood pressure. Lowering blood pressure reduces the risk of fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events, primarily strokes and myocardial infarctions.
Is Valsartan an ACE inhibitor or an ARB?
Angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) like Diovan are better for patients with high blood pressure who have had adverse reactions to angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. ARBs are less likely to cause coughs than ACE inhibitors, and patients are more likely to stay on them because of fewer adverse effects.
Combining calcium channel blockers (CCB) with angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB) like Diovan is a possible antihypertensive strategy. The benefits of CCB/ARB combined therapy include improved blood pressure reduction and lower incidences of adverse events.
Discuss with your doctor or pharmacist whether you are taking prescription or non-prescription drugs that may interact with Diovan. For people taking ARBs for blood pressure, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen, naproxen and indomethacin may have an adverse effect.
People taking Diovan should limit their intake of high-potassium foods like bananas, oranges, avocados, tomatoes, white and sweet potatoes and dried fruits, especially apricots.
