xWhat Is Aprovel Tablets 150mg?
Aprovel Tablets 150mg contain Irbesartan 150mg, made by Sanofi-Aventis Pakistan. Irbesartan is a once-daily angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) for high blood pressure and kidney protection in type 2 diabetes. This medicine requires a prescription.
How It Works
Irbesartan blocks angiotensin II from binding to its receptors, so blood vessels relax and the body retains less salt and water. This lowers blood pressure and reduces strain on the kidneys.
Uses
- Essential hypertension
- Kidney disease in adults with high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes
Dosage
The usual starting and maintenance dose is 150mg once daily, with or without food. If blood pressure is not controlled, your doctor may increase to Aprovel 300mg or add a diuretic, as in Co-Aprovel 150/12.5.
Side Effects
Dizziness, especially on standing, tiredness, nausea, raised potassium and muscle or joint pain. Rarely, swelling of the face or throat; seek urgent help.
Precautions
Do not take during pregnancy. Avoid with aliskiren in diabetes or kidney impairment. Tell your doctor about dehydration, kidney disease, renal artery stenosis, heart valve narrowing, and if you take potassium supplements, diuretics, lithium or NSAIDs. Kidney function and potassium may be monitored. Store below 30°C.
Common Questions
