What is Irbesartan?

Irbesartan, the active ingredient in Irbesartán Davur, is an angiotensin II receptor blocker presented as an oral tablet for systemic use. It is indicated for the management of hypertension and for slowing progression of diabetic nephropathy in adult patients.

GNH USA supplies Irbesartán Davur as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide. The product conforms to EU marketing authorisation standards and is manufactured under GMP conditions, ensuring consistent potency and purity for global distribution through reliable logistics.

What is Irbesartan used for?

Irbesartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker used to treat conditions related to elevated blood pressure and renal impairment.

- Hypertension: lowers systolic and diastolic blood pressure, reducing cardiovascular risk. - Diabetic nephropathy: slows the decline of renal function in patients with type 2 diabetes. - Proteinuria: decreases urinary protein excretion in chronic kidney disease.

What are the side effects of Irbesartan?

Common Side Effects: - Dizziness: sensation of light‑headedness, especially after standing. - Headache: mild to moderate pressure in the head region. - Fatigue: general feeling of tiredness or lack of energy. - Hyperkalemia: elevated potassium levels detectable in blood tests.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Angioedema: swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat that may compromise breathing. - Acute renal failure: sudden loss of kidney function requiring medical attention. - Hepatic enzyme elevation: increased liver transaminases indicating possible liver stress.

What precautions apply to Irbesartan?

Before initiating therapy, clinicians should consider the following precautions: - Monitor blood pressure: ensure adequate control and avoid hypotension. - Check serum potassium: periodic testing to detect hyperkalemia. - Assess renal function: baseline and periodic creatinine measurements are recommended. - Avoid in severe hepatic impairment: limited data suggest caution. - Use caution during pregnancy: safety category is unknown, so benefits must outweigh risks. - Store at below 25°C: keep in the original container, protect from moisture.

What does Irbesartan interact with?

Irbesartan may interact with several medicines; awareness of the following is important.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Aliskiren in patients with diabetes: combined use can increase renal risk. - Concurrent ACE inhibitor or another ARB: may cause excessive potassium rise and renal dysfunction. - Potassium‑sparing diuretics: increase the chance of hyperkalemia.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Thiazide diuretics: may enhance hypotensive effect. - Strong CYP2C9 inhibitors (e.g., fluconazole): can raise irbesartan plasma levels.

Frequently asked questions

What is Irbesartán Davur used for?+
Irbesartán Davur contains irbesartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker indicated for the treatment of hypertension and for slowing the progression of diabetic nephropathy in adult patients. It helps lower blood pressure and reduces protein loss in the urine associated with kidney disease.
How does irbesartan work?+
Irbesartan blocks the angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptors on blood vessels and adrenal glands. By preventing angiotensin II from binding, it reduces vasoconstriction and aldosterone secretion, leading to lower peripheral resistance, decreased blood volume, and a reduction in arterial blood pressure.
What is the usual dose of Irbesartán Davur?+
The appropriate dose of Irbesartán Davur is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the individual’s blood pressure, kidney function, and overall health status. Dosage adjustments may be required during therapy, and patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions exactly.
Is Irbesartán Davur safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
The safety of irbesartan in pregnancy and lactation has not been established, and it is classified as having an unknown pregnancy category. It should only be used if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus, and breastfeeding mothers should consult their healthcare provider.
How do I order Irbesartán Davur from GNH USA?+
To order Irbesartán Davur, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com specifying the required quantity. GNH USA works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.
How does irbesartan compare with other antihypertensive classes?+
Irbesartan belongs to the ARB class, which unlike ACE inhibitors does not typically cause a dry cough. Compared with calcium‑channel blockers, ARBs specifically target the renin‑angiotensin system, offering renal protective benefits in diabetic patients while having a low incidence of metabolic side effects.
How should Irbesartán Davur be stored?+
Irbesartán Davur should be stored at temperatures below 25 °C in its original packaging. Keep the product away from moisture and direct sunlight to maintain stability and potency throughout its shelf life.
How is Irbesartán Davur administered?+
Irbesartán Davur is taken orally, usually once daily with or without food. Patients should swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water and follow the dosing schedule prescribed by their healthcare professional.
What are the most serious risks to watch for while taking Irbesartán Davur?+
Serious adverse events include angioedema, which can cause swelling of the face or throat, acute renal failure indicated by a sudden rise in creatinine, and significant elevations in liver enzymes. Any signs of severe allergic reaction or rapid kidney function decline require immediate medical attention.
Who should not use Irbesartán Davur?+
Irbesartán Davur should be avoided in patients with known hypersensitivity to irbesartan or any component of the formulation, in those with severe hepatic impairment, and in individuals taking aliskiren who have diabetes. Caution is also advised for patients with existing hyperkalemia or severe renal dysfunction.
