Diovan and Cellulitis

Hi to everyone.

Hope a dermatologist, doctor or anyone can help me with my question.

Does Diovan cause cellulitis? or does it make it worst when you already have it?

Hi,

there is no such information which conclusively states that valsartan may cause cellulitis or increase its intensity or duration.

Have you taken valsartan and also have a concurrent skin infection?

If yes, have you talked to your doctor about it and taken any medication for it?

Please keep us posted and let us know if you have any other queries.

Best regards
