Description

Co-Irbesan (irbesartan, hydrochlorothiazide) Coated Tablets 150 mg/12.5 mg.

Co-Irbesan is a combination medication that contains two active ingredients: irbesartan and hydrochlorothiazide. It is available in the form of coated tablets with a strength of 150 mg. of irbesartan and 12.5 mg. of hydrochlorothiazide. Each package contains 28 tablets.

Irbesartan

Irbesartan is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist. It works by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a substance in the body that causes blood vessels to tighten, thereby lowering blood pressure. Irbesartan helps relax blood vessels, which allows blood to flow more easily, reducing the workload on the heart.

Hydrochlorothiazide

Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic (water pill) that helps the kidneys remove excess salt and water from the body. By reducing the amount of water in the body, hydrochlorothiazide helps lower blood pressure and decrease swelling due to fluid retention.

Indications

Co-Irbesan is indicated for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) in adults who require treatment with both irbesartan and hydrochlorothiazide. It is usually prescribed when treatment with either medication alone is not sufficient to control blood pressure.
