What is Irbesartan + Hydrochlorothiazide?
Active Ingredients: Irbesartan, Hydrochlorothiazide
Irbesartan + Hydrochlorothiazide Tablets are a fixed-dose combination drug used to treat hypertension. It is typically prescribed for high blood pressure that has not been controlled by monotherapy. This medication may be used alone or in combination with other antihypertensive treatments.
Irbesartan is classified as an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB). It blocks the effect of angiotensin, which otherwise tightens the blood vessels. This action helps rid the kidneys of excess water and sodium. This not only improves some aspects of renal dysfunction but reduces blood pressure.
Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic or 'water pill'. It works by increasing urine flow. This activity reduces the amount of water in the body, which helps lower blood pressure.
