Description
Indications
Irbesartan is an antihypertensive agent that is utilized either as monotherapy or in combination with other medications for the management of hypertension (high blood pressure). This medication is also indicated for the treatment of diabetic nephropathy in individuals with type 2 diabetes, a metabolic disorder characterized by insulin resistance and hyperglycemia leading to compromised renal function and hypertension.
Irbesartan falls under the category of angiotensin II receptor antagonists. It works by blocking the action of certain natural substances that tighten the blood vessels, allowing the blood to flow more smoothly and the heart to pump more efficiently.
Uses and Dosage
Irbesartan is typically taken orally as a tablet. The standard recommended dose is once daily, with or without food.
Consistency in dosing is essential, and it is advised to take irbesartan at the same time each day to aid in compliance. Adhere to the instructions provided on the prescription label, and consult your doctor or pharmacist if any aspect is unclear. Take irbesartan precisely as directed and to avoid altering the dosage or frequency without medical approval.
The initiation of therapy may involve a low dose of irbesartan, which may be gradually increased to the appropriate therapeutic level.
While irbesartan can help regulate hypertension, it is not curative, and the full benefit may take up to two weeks to become evident. Continuous usage, even if one feels well, is advised. Seek medical advice before discontinuing Irbesartan.
