Irbesartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) indicated to treat hypertension or diabetic nephropathy. It can also be used as part of a combination product with hydrochlorothiazide for patients not well controlled or not expected to be well controlled on monotherapy. Unlike angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, ARBs are not associated with a dry cough.
Irbesartan was granted FDA approval on 30 September 1997.
Irbesartan is indicated to treat hypertension and diabetic nephropathy in hypertensive patients with type 2 diabetes, elevated serum creatinine, and proteinuria. A combination product with hydrochlorothiazide is indicated for hypertension in patients with uncontrolled hypertension with monotherapy or first line in patients not expected to be well controlled with monotherapy.
