WHAT IRBESARTAN HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE ZENTIVA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Irbesartan Hydrochlorothiazide Zentiva 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 Zentiva
work together to lower blood
pressure further than if either was given alone.
IRBESARTAN HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE ZENTIVA IS USED TO TREAT HIGH BLOOD
PRESSURE, when treatment w
