Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am changing from diovan to metoprolol. Diovan is not regulating BP. Metoprolol does regulate. I only changed a few years ago because I get allergy shots and can t take a betablocker 24 hrs prior to shots. I took 120 Diovan a 1:00 and bp is still 147/80 and that s 5 hours ago.

Hi,
Your healthcare provider will consider your medical history and current condition to determine whether it is safe and appropriate for you to switch from Diovan to Metoprolol. It's only safe to change medications with the guidance of a healthcare professional. They should be consulted before making any changes to your medication regimen.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
