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