Description

“Irbesartan is used to treat hypertension and to protect the kidneys from diabetes-related damage. Diabetic nephropathy is a complication of type 2 diabetes which causes the kidneys to not work properly. Lowering high blood pressure helps to prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems and increases the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart. Irbesartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB). It relaxes blood arteries, allowing blood to flow more easily.”
