the fact Diovan appeared not to be of benefit to yourself counts
against Losartan potentially having benefits when you take into
account that Diovan and Losartan are *not* the same compound ( unlike
mylan vs other packaged brands of diltiazem )

well known that they do not all have the same effects, despite their
