What is Irovel H?
Irovel H is a diuretic which is used to lower high blood pressure (hypertension). Its active ingredients, Irovel H and Irbesartan, contain Hydrochlorothiazide and Irbesartan. It is also an angiotensin II receptor antagonist that will decrease fluid retention through eliminating excess salt in the patient's body. It widens the blood vessels which immediately improves blood circulation and blood pressure so that the patient's organs are able to work more effectively.
How is Irovel H used?
Always take Irovel H as per your prescribing health care provider's instructions. Never change your dosage unless specifically advised to do so by your health care provider or another qualified health care professional. Irovel is normally used for at least 4 weeks consecutively. You must always finish your prescribed course of medication, even if you start to feel better since the condition may not be entirely remedied.
