WHAT IRBESARTAN/HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE TEVA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Irbesartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Teva is a combination of two active
substances, irbesartan and
hydrochlorothiazide. Irbesartan belongs to a group of medicines known
as angiotensin-II receptor
antagonists. Angiotensin-II is a substance produced in the body that
binds to receptors in blood vessels
causing them to tighten. This results in an increase in blood
pressure. Irbesartan prevents the binding of
angiotensin-II to these receptors, causing the blood vessels to relax
and the blood pressure to lower.
Hydrochlorothiazide is one of a group of medicines (called thiazide
diuretics) that causes increased urine
output and so causes a lowering of blood pressure.
The two active ingredients in Irbesartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Teva work
together to lower blood pressure
further than if either was given alone.
IRBESARTAN/HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE TEVA IS USED TO TREAT HIGH BLOOD
PRESSURE,
