irbesartan / hydrochlorothiazide — Definition
irbesartan / hidroklorotiyazid / irbesartan / hydrochlorothiazide
While Irbesartan acts as angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), a hydrochlorotiyazid group is diuretic. This combination is used in hypertension patients with adequate blood pressure control, especially with irbesartan alone. While Irbesartan is expanding the vessels by blocking the release of vaconstrics and aldosterone, hydrochlorotiyazid decreases blood volume and therefore blood pressure by increasing sodium and water excretion from the kidneys.
