What is Irbesartan?
|
|
Irbesartan
belongs to the class of medicines called angiotensin
II inhibitor antihypertensives. It is used to treat
high blood pressure (hypertension).

|
How does Irbesartan work?
|
|
High
blood pressure adds to the workload of the heart and
arteries. If it continues for a long time, the heart
and arteries may not function properly. This can
damage the blood vessels of the brain, heart, and
kidneys, resulting in a stroke, heart failure, or
kidney failure. High blood pressure also may
increase the risk of heart attacks. These problems
may be less likely to occur if blood pressure is
controlled. Irbesartan works by blocking the action
of a substance in the body that causes blood vessels
to tighten. As a result, irbesartan relaxes blood
vessels. This lowers blood pressure.
