What Is Irbesartan 75mg?

Irbesartan is a prescription medication in the angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) class, sold under the brand name Avapro. It blocks a hormone that narrows blood vessels, which helps lower blood pressure and reduces strain on the heart and kidneys. Irbesartan is FDA-approved to treat hypertension and to slow the progression of kidney disease (diabetic nephropathy) in adults with type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. The 75mg tablet is often used as a starting dose in patients who may be more sensitive to blood pressure lowering.
