Indications / Uses: 
is indicated for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) and helps reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications such as stroke and heart attack. It is also used to protect kidney function in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension by reducing the effects of angiotensin II, a substance that causes blood vessel narrowing and increased blood pressure. Additionally, irbesartan may be used in the management of heart failure in selected patients by improving circulation and decreasing the workload of the heart.

Adults (18 years and older): The recommended starting dose of IRBEQ Irbesartan 150mg is 150 mg once daily. The dose may be increased to 300 mg once daily if additional blood pressure control is required and as determined by a healthcare professional.

The maximum recommended daily dose is 300 mg. Irbesartan is not recommended for children below 18 years of age due to limited safety and efficacy data.
