Hi Jim,
Both Diovan and Avapro are angiotensin II receptor antagonists. They both work to keep blood vessels from narrowing, which lowers blood pressure and improves blood flow. Many times a physician will try combinations of blood pressure medications to determine what will best control an individuals blood pressure. There is always potential for a drug interaction, but mostlikely low. I recommend discussing your concerns with your physician. A pharmacist would be another good resource.
All the best,
