Product Overview
About RIVA-IRBESARTAN
RIVA-IRBESARTAN is a prescription medication containing the active ingredient Irbesartan, an angiotensin II receptor antagonist (ARB) used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and to protect the kidneys from damage due to diabetes.
Key Benefits & Uses
- Treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension) in adults and children aged 6 years and older.
- Reduction of the risk of stroke in patients with high blood pressure and a history of stroke or transient ischemic attack.
- Protection of the kidneys from damage due to diabetes in patients with high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes.
Active Ingredient & Action
Irbesartan works by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a potent vasoconstrictor, which is a part of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). This leads to vasodilation, decreased peripheral resistance, and a subsequent decrease in blood pressure.
