About this product

Overview

Aprovel 150mg Tablets contain Irbesartan as their active ingredient. They belong to a class of medications known as angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs), which are primarily used for the management of hypertension (high blood pressure) and to protect the kidneys from damage due to diabetes.

Uses

  • Hypertension Management: Aprovel 150mg Tablets are prescribed to lower blood pressure in patients with hypertension. Irbesartan works by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a substance that constricts blood vessels, thereby relaxing and widening the blood vessels to allow for smoother blood flow.
  • Renal Protection: These tablets may also be used to protect the kidneys in patients with type 2 diabetes and hypertension. They help reduce the risk of kidney damage and delay the progression of kidney disease.

Side Effects

Common side effects associated with Aprovel 150mg Tablets may include dizziness, lightheadedness, headache, fatigue, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. In rare cases, individuals may experience allergic reactions such as rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing. Additionally, there is a potential risk of kidney impairment, hyperkalemia (high potassium levels), and hypotension (low blood pressure). It is important to monitor for these side effects and seek medical attention if they occur.

Precautions

  • Aprovel 150mg Tablets should be used with caution in patients with a history of kidney disease, liver disease, heart failure, or dehydration.
  • Blood pressure should be monitored regularly while taking Aprovel 150mg Tablets, and dosage adjustments may be necessary to achieve optimal blood pressure control.
  • Use of these tablets during pregnancy should be avoided, especially during the second and third trimesters, as they may cause harm to the unborn baby.

When Not to Use

Aprovel 150mg Tablets should not be used in the following circumstances:

  • Hypersensitivity to Irbesartan or any of the tablet’s components.
  • Patients with severe kidney impairment (creatinine clearance < 30 mL/min) or patients on dialysis.
  • Pregnancy, particularly during the second and third trimesters, due to the potential risk to the unborn baby.
