Dom Irbesartan How to Take

Irbesartan belongs to a family of medicines known as angiotensin II receptor blockers. These medicines are used to lower high blood pressure and work by relaxing blood vessels. Irbesartan is also used to lower blood pressure and decrease the rate of the progression of kidney damage in patients with Type 2 Diabetes.

Angiotensin II is a chemical that the body releases to cause the constriction of blood vessels. Irbesartan blocks the action of angiotensin II, resulting in the relaxation of the blood vessels. This relaxation causes the blood pressure to decrease. The full effects of irbesartan are usually seen within about 4 weeks. It can be used alone or in combination with thiazide diuretics (water pills; e.g., Hydrochlorothiazide).

Dom Irbesartan does not cure high blood pressure, but it does help to control it, when it is taken regularly. Do not stop taking Dom Irbesartan without discussing the risks and benefits with your doctor.

Dom Irbesartan may be available under multiple brand names and/or in several different forms. Any specific brand name of Dom Irbesartan may not be available in all of the forms or approved for all of the conditions discussed here. As well, some forms of Dom Irbesartan may not be used for all of the conditions discussed here.

Your doctor may have suggested Dom Irbesartan for conditions other than those listed in these drug information articles.

These factors may affect how you should use Dom Irbesartan.

Drowsiness/reduced alertness: Irbesartan, like other medications for blood pressure may cause dizziness and lightheadedness, especially if you have been taking a diuretic (water pill). This may affect your ability to drive or operate machinery. Avoid these and other activities until you have determined that Dom Irbesartan does not affect you in this way.

Heart disease: If you have a history of heart problems, such as a recent Heart Attack or Stroke, narrowing of the heart valves (valvular stenosis) or other heart disease, discuss with your doctor how Dom Irbesartan may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of Dom Irbesartan, and whether any special monitoring is needed.

Kidney function: Irbesartan may affect the function of the kidneys, especially for people who already have kidney problems. Certain people may be more likely to experience changes in kidney function (e.g., people with narrowed blood vessels in their kidneys, or those with severe Congestive Heart Failure). The use of diuretics (water pills) or aliskiren may further increase risk of kidney problems for those at risk for this problem. If you have reduced kidney function or Kidney Disease, discuss with your doctor how Dom Irbesartan may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of Dom Irbesartan, and whether any special monitoring is needed.

Liver function: Liver disease or reduced liver function may cause Dom Irbesartan to build up in the body, causing side effects.

Your doctor may want to test your liver function regularly with blood tests while you are taking Dom Irbesartan.

If you experience symptoms of liver problems such as fatigue, feeling unwell, loss of appetite, nausea, yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes, dark urine, pale stools, abdominal pain or swelling, and itchy skin, contact your doctor immediately.

Low Blood Pressure: Occasionally, a larger-than-expected decrease in blood pressure occurs after taking irbesartan. In some cases, this happens after the first dose. It is more likely to occur if you take diuretics (water pills) or the medication aliskiren, have a reduced salt intake, are on dialysis, or are experiencing diarrhea or vomiting. Blood pressure should be monitored more often in these situations. If you have low blood pressure or are just starting to take Dom Irbesartan, move slowly from a reclining to an upright position to reduce the risk of dizziness.

Potassium levels: Dom Irbesartan may affect potassium levels in the blood, especially when used for heart failure, or when taken with other medications called ACE inhibitors or diuretics such as Spironolactone.
