Product Overview
About TEVA-IRBESARTAN
TEVA-IRBESARTAN is a prescription medication containing the active ingredient Irbesartan, an angiotensin II receptor antagonist (ARB) used in the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) and diabetic nephropathy (kidney damage in diabetic patients).
Key Benefits & Uses
- Treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) in adults and children aged 6 years and older.
- Treatment of diabetic nephropathy with hypertension in patients with 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. Additionally, Irbesartan has a protective effect on the kidneys by reducing proteinuria and slowing the progression of kidney disease.
Important Notes
TEVA-IRBESARTAN is available in various strengths and should be taken orally once daily. It is essential to follow the prescribed dosage and not exceed the recommended dose. Patients with kidney disease, heart failure, or liver impairment should be closely monitored while taking TEVA-IRBESARTAN. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more information and to discuss potential interactions with other medications.
