Is It Advisable To Replace Diovan With Irbesartan And Losartan?
My insurance company has declined to cover Diovan. i have been taking diovan for close to 10 years. I am in the process of looking for something similar. I have investigated irbesartan and losartan and have read no good reviews from people writing their testimonials. Any ideas?
