ARBI D 300/25MG TAB: Managing Hypertension and Cardiovascular Health
Introduction
ARBI D 300/25MG TAB is a combination tablet that provides dual benefits for individuals with hypertension. Let’s explore its components, mechanism of action, and safety considerations.
Active Ingredients
Irbesartan (300mg):
Irbesartan belongs to the class of drugs known as angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs).
It selectively blocks the angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptors, leading to vasodilation (widening of blood vessels).
By relaxing blood vessels, Irbesartan helps lower blood pressure, reducing strain on the heart and preventing complications.
Hydrochlorothiazide (25mg):
Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic.
It enhances sodium and water excretion by the kidneys, reducing blood volume and pressure.
The combination with Irbesartan provides synergistic effects in managing hypertension.
Indications
ARBI D 300/25MG TAB is prescribed for the following conditions:
Hypertension (High Blood Pressure):Irbesartan and Hydrochlorothiazide work together to control blood pressure effectively.
