My mum is at the age of 82, the doctor advised her to take C0-Diovan ( to replace Nifenipine/Propranolol ) and two months later another doctor recommended her to take Diovan instead of Co-Diovan, so what is the actual difference between these two ? My mum is having problem of right leg swollen, so which type of tablets is more suitable for her ?
What is the difference between Co-Diovan & Diovan ?
