the two drugs were produced by Novartis Company , I want to know if the two drugs are same or not.
Dear Dr. Yehya,
The active ingredients of the two drugs are different. CO-DIOVAN - combination of 2 molecules - Valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide - available in five strengths: Co-Diovan 80/12.5, Co-Diovan 160/12.5, Co-Diovan 160/25, Co-Diovan 320/12.5 and Co-Diovan 320/25 .
Diovan - Valsartan - Diovan is available as tablets for oral administration, containing 40 mg, 80 mg, 160 mg or 320 mg of valsartan.
However, it may be prescribed for the same case according to doctor's evaluation.
Best regards
