DIOVAN---When does it become fully effective. I started on 80mg once a day back in January and within a few days my pressure was lower. I stayed on that dosage for about 2 months and then I happened to take it at work one day and it was above 140/90. I called the doctor and he increased the dosage to 160 mg.Actually I take 80mg twice a day. My pressure has averaged 115/75 since then with no side effects. started taking Diovan about three weeks ago - 80mg a day. Two weeks later at the doc's, my pressure was the same as it was originally (170/90), so he increased my dose to 160 mg.
