Description

Irbesartan 300 mg is a prescription medicine used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and to help protect kidney function in patients with type 2 diabetes and diabetic nephropathy. It relaxes blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood.

Uses

• Hypertension (high blood pressure)
• Diabetic nephropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes
• Reduction of cardiovascular risk associated with uncontrolled hypertension

How It Works

Irbesartan blocks the effects of angiotensin II, a hormone that causes blood vessels to narrow and promotes fluid retention. By blocking these effects, irbesartan:

• Lowers blood pressure
• Improves blood flow
• Reduces strain on the heart
• Helps protect kidney function in appropriate patients

Dosage

• Typical adult dose: 150–300 mg once daily.
• 300 mg is a common maximum maintenance dose.
• Can be taken with or without food.
• Take at the same time each day.

Important Precautions

• Use cautiously in patients with kidney disease, liver disease, or dehydration.
• Regular monitoring of blood pressure, kidney function, and potassium levels may be required.
• Inform your healthcare provider if you take potassium supplements, potassium-sparing diuretics, or other blood pressure medicines.
