I have taken this med for about 3 years. worked well for me. i think it does affect sexual function through, but i was on 320mg, the highest. my insurance just changed( drug is expensive) so now i have to take something else, so time will tell if the change will work.

I have been experiencing heart burn with this medication. I have very rarely had heartburn before taking this medicine. I have taken it for four days and experienced heartburn each day.

I have been on Diovan for over 5 years. I've been very happy with it as I have tried others and experienced awful side effects. I love Diovan!

Diovan worked to keep my blood pressure down, but it made me experience urgent, frequent, uncomfortable urination during my trial period.
