1. 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.
2. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU TAKE COAPROVEL
DO NOT TAKE COAPROVEL
• if you are ALLERGIC to irbesartan or any of the other ingredients
of this
medicine (listed in section 6)
• if you are ALLERGIC to hydrochlorothiazide or any other

blood pressure is not adequately
controlled with hydrochlorothiazide or irbesartan 150 mg alone;
▪ CoAprovel 300 mg/12.5 mg may be administered in patients
insufficiently controlled by irbesartan 300
mg or by CoAprovel 150 mg/12.5 mg.

insufficiently controlled by CoAprovel 300
mg/12.5 mg.

When necessary, CoAprovel may be administered with another
antihypertensive medicinal product (see
sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.5 and 5.1).
