Irbesartan

Uses

Irbesartan is used in the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure), the prevention of heart attack and stroke, and heart failure.

How it Works

How Irbesartan works Irbesartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB). It relaxes blood vessels by inhibiting the action of a chemical that typically constricts them. This lowers blood pressure, allowing blood to flow more smoothly to various organs and enabling the heart to pump more efficiently.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Irbesartan include increased potassium levels in the blood, dizziness, and orthostatic hypotension (a sudden drop in blood pressure upon standing).

Expert Advice

It may cause dizziness during the first few days of use.
Rise slowly if you have been sitting or lying down for an extended period.
Your doctor may perform regular tests to monitor the levels of urea, creatinine, and potassium in your blood.
Avoid taking anti-inflammatory medications, such as ibuprofen, alongside this medicine without consulting your doctor.
Do not take Irbesartan if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Do not discontinue use suddenly without consulting your doctor.
Take it at the same time every day to help you remember to take it.
