What is Irbesartan(Avapro) and How to Take It
Irbesartan is used for managing high blood pressure, specifically in those with diabetic nephropathy. Additionally, it may also be used to treat heart failure. Irbesartan/Avapro is one of the angiotensin II receptor antagonists(selective AT1). Other drugs form Irbesartan drug class include losartan, candesartan, olmesartan, telmisartan, and valsartan. Irbesartan/hydrochlorothiazide combination is also used to treat hpertension.
Irbesartan works by impeding the binding of angiotensin II to receptors called AT1 receptors throughout your body. Resultantly, Irbesartan decreases vasoconstriction and reduces aldosterone release and the amount of sodium that is reabsorbed. This ultimately reduces blood pressure.
