WHAT COAPROVEL IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
CoAprovel 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 CoAprovel work together to lower blood
pressure further than if either
was given alone.
COAPROVEL IS USED TO TREAT HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
, when treatment with irbesartan or
hydrochlorothiazide alone did not provide adequate control of your
blood pressure.
