FAQs

Irovel H Tablet is a combination of two medicines, namely: Irbesartan and Hydrochlorothiazide. Irbesartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) that blocks the hormone angiotensin and relaxes blood vessels. This allows the blood to flow more smoothly in the blood vessels, and the heart can pump more efficiently. Hydrochlorothiazide (diuretic or water pill), removes extra water and certain electrolytes from the body. Together, both lower fluid overload, blood pressure, improves blood flow, and reduce the future risk of a heart attack.

About Irovel H Tablet

Irovel H Tablet is an 'anti-hypertensives' medication primarily used for lowering high blood pressure (hypertension) by removing extra fluid (electrolytes) from the body. High blood pressure is a chronic condition in which the blood's force against the artery wall is high. As a result, it increases the risk of heart-related diseases like heart attack, heart failure, stroke, irregular heartbeat, and other complications.

Irovel H Tablet is a combination of two medicines, namely: Irbesartan and Hydrochlorothiazide. Irbesartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) that blocks the hormone angiotensin, thereby relaxing and widening the narrowed blood vessels. This allows the blood to flow more smoothly in the blood vessels, and the heart can pump more efficiently. On the other hand, Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic or water pill that works by removing extra water/fluid and certain electrolyte overload from the body. Together, Irovel H Tablet lowers fluid overload, raised blood pressure, improves blood flow, and reduces the future risk of a heart attack and stroke.

Take Irovel H Tablet as prescribed. Your doctor will advise you on how often you take your tablets based on your medical condition. You may experience nausea, taste change, upset stomach, diarrhoea, dizziness, headache, electrolyte imbalance, and decreased blood pressure in some cases. Most of these side effects of Irovel H Tablet do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Do not use potassium supplements or salt substitutes unless the doctor has told you. If you notice unexplained muscle pain, dark colour urine, tenderness, or weakness, especially if you also have a fever or unexplained tiredness, immediately contact the doctor. Try not to stop taking this medicine of your own. Let your doctor know about this, as it may cause a rise in blood pressure and increase heart disease and stroke risk. Inform your doctor if you are suffering from any kidney or liver or heart disease or are diabetic. Do not use Irovel H Tablet if you cannot urinate, are dehydrated, have low blood pressure (hypotension), and have or have had cardiogenic shock (sudden stopping of blood flow to the heart). Please tell your doctor if you are taking any other medicines or are allergic to this medicine. Reducing table salt (sodium chloride) in your food often helps lower blood pressure. Do not take Irovel H Tablet if you are more than 3 months pregnant, if you have diabetes or impaired kidney function; if you suffer from potassium deficiency (hypokalaemia)/sodium deficiency (hyponatraemia), gout (Pain and inflammation occur when a high amount of uric acid crystallises and deposits in the joints). Check your serum electrolytes, creatinine and urea, serum lipids (cholesterol and triglycerides), uric acid, and blood sugar levels regularly as advised by your doctor.
