Diovan HCT
Subject: Diovan HCT

How does one go about transcribing Diovan HCT when the drug is a combination of valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide.  Appendix B of the BOS states that the meaning of HCT is hydrocortisone and HCTZ is hydrochlorothiazide and to spell out both HCT and HCTZ.  I trust this is the correct board to ask this question.  I'm really getting myself confused with this particular drug combination!  in advance!

Diovan HCT dosage
Subject: Diovan HCT dosage

The doc is saying the pt is on 320/50.  The highest I can find is 320/25, although I did get google hits with patients talking about being on 320/50.  Can anyone verify this?
