Does Generic Valsartan Contain Aliskeren?
Does generic valsartan contain aliskeren? I took diovan for 15 years with no problems. The insurance company switched me to generic valsartan and I have had many problems. I also take metformin for diabetes and Prilosec for acid reflux. Thank-you. I just found out that there is a charge, so please just disreguard my question.

Hi
Thanks for choosing HCM.
Valsartan does not contain Aliskiren.
These two drugs have different sites of action.
Valsartan is safer and more effective in reducing the high BP.
Aliskiren is associated with harmful effects.
Diovan used for longer duration of 15 yrs may increase your BP.
Ask your doc for the alternate drug for Diovan.
Kindly rate this answer if convinced.
