Aprovel 300 Mg contains the active ingredient Irbesartan, which belongs to a class of medications known as angiotensin II receptor antagonists. This medication works by directly blocking angiotensin II receptors, leading to a reduction in blood pressure.
Aprovel helps prevent the narrowing of blood vessels caused by angiotensin, which aids in lowering high blood pressure. It also reduces the secretion of aldosterone, which leads to the retention of water and sodium, thus contributing to lower blood pressure.
Aprovel is commonly used to treat high blood pressure and can also be used for type 2 diabetic patients suffering from kidney impairment. The medication is available in 150 and 300 mg concentrations, and the doctor should determine the appropriate dosage based on the patient's condition.
Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult a doctor before using Aprovel. Caution should also be exercised in certain cases such as liver disorders and cardiovascular diseases.

1. Treatment of high blood pressure.

Contraindications:
1. Hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients.
