Key points

  • Irbesartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker, a medicine class that relaxes blood vessels to lower pressure.
  • Avalide combines irbesartan with hydrochlorothiazide, a diuretic that removes excess fluid from the body.
  • The 162.5 mg tablet is the only strength and formulation listed in this catalogue.

Irbesartan works by blocking a chemical that narrows blood vessels, which can lower blood pressure. irbesartan is paired with hydrochlorothiazide in Avalide, the only product listed here for Heart & Blood Pressure, and the combination is used when blood pressure needs more than one approach.
