How it works
From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Avapro). It describes the substance, not this exact product.
Angiotensin II is a potent vasoconstrictor formed from angiotensin I in a reaction catalyzed by angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE, kininase II).
Angiotensin II is the primary vasoactive hormone of the renin-angiotensin system, and an important component in the pathophysiology of hypertension.
Irbesartan is metabolized via glucuronide conjugation and oxidation.
Irbesartan and its metabolites are excreted by both biliary and renal routes.
Food does not affect the bioavailability of irbesartan.
