Authorized genericNot sold

There isn’t one. An authorized generic is Diovan itself, from the same company, sold without the brand name, and usually for less. A regular generic is sold, with the same active ingredient: ask the pharmacy for its price.

What to say at the pharmacy

“Before you fill my Diovan, can you tell me what I’d pay for the brand and for a generic?”

Paying cash? Ask for each one’s cash price. With insurance, ask what your plan charges for each.

What it’s used for

What the FDA label says

Diovan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) indicated for:

  • Hypertension, to lower blood pressure in adults and children 1 year and older. Lowering blood pressure reduces the risk of fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events, primarily strokes and myocardial infarctions
  • Heart failure (NYHA class II-IV), to reduce hospitalization for heart failure in adults
  • Post-myocardial infarction, for the reduction of cardiovascular mortality in clinically stable patients with left ventricular failure or left ventricular dysfunction following myocardial infarction in adults

Source: the FDA label for Diovan (Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation), August 11, 2026. Full label on DailyMed
