Irbesartan/Hydrocholorthiazide Teva (Hydrochlorothiazide, Irbesartan)

Irbesartan, the active ingredient in Irbesartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Teva, is an Angiotensin II receptor blocker presented as a fixed‑dose oral tablet for oral use. It is combined with hydrochlorothiazide, a thiazide diuretic, to treat hypertension in adult patients. The combination leverages the vasodilatory effect of irbesartan together with the diuretic action of hydrochlorothiazide, offering a synergistic approach to blood‑pressure control and reducing the need for multiple separate pills.

GNH India supplies Irbesartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Teva as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier, meeting EU quality standards and providing reliable bulk shipments to hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

Indications & Clinical Uses

  • Irbesartan/Hydrochlorothiazide is an antihypertensive combination that targets the renin‑angiotensin system and promotes diuresis.
  • Hypertension (essential): lowers systolic and diastolic blood pressure, helping achieve target levels.
  • High blood pressure with fluid retention: provides combined vasodilation and diuretic effect to improve overall control.
  • Resistant hypertension (as adjunct): adds a diuretic component to enhance efficacy when monotherapy is insufficient.

How It Works

  • Irbesartan selectively blocks angiotensin II binding to the AT1 receptor, preventing vasoconstriction and aldosterone release. Hydrochlorothiazide inhibits Na⁺/Cl⁻ reabsorption in the distal convoluted tubule, increasing urinary sodium and water excretion, which reduces plasma volume. The dual action results in lowered peripheral resistance and decreased blood volume, producing an additive antihypertensive effect.

Side Effects

Common Side Effects

  • Dizziness or light‑headedness, especially after the first dose.
  • Headache.
  • Fatigue or mild weakness.
  • Increased urinary frequency.
  • Mild electrolyte changes such as low potassium.
  • Transient nausea.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Severe dehydration or electrolyte imbalance (e.g., hyponatremia, hypokalemia).
  • Acute kidney injury or worsening renal function.
  • Angioedema or severe allergic reactions.
  • Marked hypotension.
  • Pancreatitis (rare).
  • Severe gout attacks.

Precautions & Warnings

Before initiating therapy, consider the following precautions:

  • Monitor blood pressure regularly to assess efficacy.
  • Assess renal function and serum electrolytes, especially potassium and creatinine.
  • Use caution in patients with hepatic impairment.
  • Avoid in individuals with severe volume depletion or salt‑losing conditions.
  • Adjust dose in the elderly or in patients with reduced renal function.
  • Store at room temperature: keep in the original pack, protect from moisture.

Avoid Interactions

Irbesartan/Hydrochlorothiazide may interact with several medicines. Review the following groups:

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Aliskiren in diabetic patients (risk of renal impairment and hyperkalemia).
  • Potassium‑sparing diuretics or supplements (risk of hyperkalemia).
  • ACE inhibitors or other ARBs (excessive renal dysfunction, hyperkalemia).
  • NSAIDs (may blunt antihypertensive effect and affect renal function).
  • Lithium (increased lithium toxicity).

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Other antihypertensives (additive blood‑pressure lowering).
  • Loop or thiazide diuretics (enhanced electrolyte loss).
  • Antidiabetic agents (possible need for dose adjustment).
  • Anticoagulants (potential increase in INR).
  • Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (may raise irbesartan plasma levels).

Frequently Asked Questions

Irbesartan/Hydrochlorothiazide is prescribed to lower high blood pressure (hypertension). The combination uses an angiotensin II receptor blocker together with a thiazide diuretic to achieve better blood‑pressure control than either component alone, especially in patients who need both vasodilation and fluid reduction.

Irbesartan blocks the AT1 receptor for angiotensin II, preventing the hormone from causing blood‑vessel constriction and aldosterone release. This leads to relaxed vessels and reduced blood volume. When paired with hydrochlorothiazide, which increases urine output, the overall effect is a synergistic reduction in blood pressure.

The specific dose of Irbesartan/Hydrochlorothiazide is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the patient’s blood‑pressure readings, kidney function, and other health factors. The prescriber will select the appropriate strength and dosing schedule that best fits the individual’s therapeutic needs.

Safety of Irbesartan/Hydrochlorothiazide in pregnancy or while breastfeeding has not been established. It is generally avoided during pregnancy, especially in the second and third trimesters, because of potential risks to the fetus. Women who are breastfeeding should consult their healthcare provider before using this medication.

To order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India supplies hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide. After the request, the sales team will verify trade or institutional credentials, then provide pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.

Compared with single‑agent therapy, the fixed‑dose combination offers the convenience of one tablet and the additive effect of two mechanisms—angiotensin II blockade and diuresis. This can improve adherence and achieve target blood‑pressure levels more efficiently than using an ARB or a thiazide alone, especially in patients requiring both actions.

Store the tablets at room temperature, below 25 °C, in the original packaging to protect them from moisture and light. Keep the container tightly closed and out of reach of children. Do not store in humid or excessively hot environments, as this may affect tablet integrity.

The medication is taken orally, usually once daily, with or without food, as directed by the prescriber. Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water. Do not crush, split, or chew the tablet unless the prescriber specifically advises otherwise.

Serious risks include severe dehydration, significant electrolyte disturbances (especially low potassium), acute kidney injury, marked hypotension, and rare cases of angioedema. Patients should report symptoms such as sudden dizziness, swelling of the face or throat, rapid weight loss, or muscle weakness to their healthcare provider promptly.

The combination should be avoided in individuals with known hypersensitivity to irbesartan, hydrochlorothiazide, or any component of the formulation. It is also contraindicated in patients with severe renal impairment, anuria, or severe electrolyte imbalance, and in those with a history of angioedema related to ARB therapy.
