GNH USA supplies Irbesartan Comp Hexal as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

What is Hydrochlorothiazide, Irbesartan used for?

Irbesartan Comp Hexal is an antihypertensive combination that lowers elevated blood pressure by acting on the renin‑angiotensin system and promoting diuresis.

Hypertension: Reduces systolic and diastolic blood pressure, helping to prevent cardiovascular complications.

What are the side effects of Hydrochlorothiazide, Irbesartan?

Irbesartan Comp Hexal may cause a range of adverse reactions. Patients should be aware of both common and serious possibilities.

Common Side Effects: - Dizziness or light‑headedness - Headache - Fatigue or weakness - Increased urination - Mild electrolyte disturbances (e.g., low potassium) - Gastrointestinal discomfort such as nausea

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Severe hypotension - Acute kidney injury or worsening renal function - Hyperkalemia or severe electrolyte imbalance - Anaphylactic or severe allergic reactions - Pancreatitis - Blood dyscrasias such as agranulocytosis

What precautions apply to Hydrochlorothiazide, Irbesartan?

Before initiating therapy, clinicians should evaluate patient‑specific factors and monitor relevant parameters. - Blood pressure monitoring: Check regularly to avoid excessive hypotension. - Renal function: Assess serum creatinine and eGFR before and during treatment. - Electrolytes: Monitor potassium and sodium levels, especially with concomitant diuretics. - Hepatic impairment: Use with caution in patients with liver disease. - Pregnancy: Avoid use during pregnancy due to potential fetal harm. - Store at below 25°C: keep in the original packaging, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

What does Hydrochlorothiazide, Irbesartan interact with?

Irbesartan Comp Hexal can interact with several drug classes, requiring attention to avoid adverse outcomes.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Aliskiren in diabetic patients: increased risk of renal impairment and hyperkalemia. - Potassium‑sparing diuretics or supplements: may cause dangerous hyperkalemia. - ACE inhibitors or other ARBs: additive effect on potassium and renal function. - High‑dose NSAIDs: can diminish antihypertensive effect and worsen kidney function.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Lithium: may increase lithium levels, risking toxicity. - Other antihypertensives: may enhance blood‑pressure lowering effect. - CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole): may raise irbesartan concentrations. - NSAIDs at usual doses: require periodic renal function checks.

Frequently asked questions

What is Irbesartan Comp Hexal used for?+
Irbesartan Comp Hexal is an oral combination of irbesartan and hydrochlorothiazide indicated for the treatment of hypertension. The drug lowers high blood pressure by blocking angiotensin II receptors and increasing urinary excretion of sodium and water, helping to reduce cardiovascular risk in adult patients.
How does irbesartan work in this product?+
Irbesartan selectively blocks the AT1 receptor, preventing angiotensin II from causing vasoconstriction and aldosterone release. This leads to relaxation of blood vessels and reduced sodium retention. When combined with hydrochlorothiazide, which promotes diuresis, the overall effect is a greater reduction in blood pressure.
What is the usual dose of Irbesartan Comp Hexal?+
The specific dose of Irbesartan Comp Hexal is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the patient’s blood‑pressure profile, renal function, and other individual factors. Healthcare professionals should follow local prescribing guidelines and adjust the regimen as needed.
Is Irbesartan Comp Hexal safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Irbesartan Comp Hexal is contraindicated in pregnancy because angiotensin‑II receptor blockers can cause fetal toxicity. Safety during breastfeeding has not been established, so the product should be avoided unless the benefits clearly outweigh the risks and a healthcare professional advises otherwise.
How do I order Irbesartan Comp Hexal from GNH USA?+
To place an order, 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 Comp Hexal compare with other antihypertensive options?+
Compared with single‑agent ARBs or thiazide diuretics, the combination offers additive blood‑pressure reduction, often allowing lower doses of each component and simplifying therapy. It may be preferred when monotherapy does not achieve target pressure, but clinicians must consider individual tolerability and potential drug interactions.
What are the storage and handling requirements for Irbesartan Comp Hexal?+
The product should be stored at temperatures below 25 °C, in its original container, protected from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep the medication out of reach of children and avoid storing in bathrooms or other humid environments.
How is Irbesartan Comp Hexal administered?+
Irbesartan Comp Hexal is taken orally, usually once daily, with or without food, as directed by a healthcare professional. The tablet should be swallowed whole with a glass of water and not crushed or chewed unless specifically instructed.
What are the most serious risks associated with Irbesartan Comp Hexal?+
Serious risks include severe hypotension, acute kidney injury, hyperkalemia, and rare but life‑threatening allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis. Patients should be monitored for signs of these conditions, especially during the initial treatment period or when other interacting drugs are used.
Who should not use Irbesartan Comp Hexal?+
The medication is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to irbesartan, hydrochlorothiazide, or any component of the formulation. It should also be avoided in pregnant women, individuals with severe renal impairment, and those taking aliskiren if they have diabetes.
