WHAT IRBESARTAN TEVA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Irbesartan Teva belongs to a group of medicines known as
angiotensin-II receptor antagonists.
Angiotensin-II is a substance produced in the body which binds to
receptors in blood vessels causing
them to tighten. This results in an increase in blood pressure.
Irbesartan Teva prevents the binding of
angiotensin-II to these receptors, causing the blood vessels to relax
and the blood pressure to lower.
Irbesartan Teva slows the decrease of kidney function in patients with
high blood pressure and type 2
diabetes.
Irbesartan Teva is used in adult patients

to treat high blood pressure
_(essential hypertension)_

to protect the kidney in patients with high blood pressure, type 2
diabetes and laboratory
evidence of impaired kidney function.

CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Irbesartan Teva is indicated in adults for the treatment of essential
hypertension.
It is also indicated for the treatment of renal disease in adult
patients with hypertension and type 2
diabetes mellitus as part of an antihypertensive medicinal product

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
The usual recommended initial and maintenance dose is 150 mg once
daily, with or without food.
Irbesartan at a dose of 150 mg once daily generally provides a better
24 hour blood pressure control
than 75 mg. However, initiation of therapy with 75 mg could be
considered, particularly in
haemodialysed patients and in the elderly over 75 years.
