Irovel is utilized for the management of hypertension (elevated blood pressure). It has diuretic characteristics and acts as an angiotensin II receptor blocker. Its mechanism involves dilating the patient's blood vessels and eliminating surplus salt and retained fluid, thereby enhancing blood flow efficiency.
Always take Irovel as directed. Swallow the tablets whole without chewing, crushing, splitting, or dissolving them. Generally, patients are advised against taking the medication in the evening to prevent increased urination from disrupting sleep.
You may need to have regular blood pressure checks with your doctor. Attend all scheduled appointments. Your doctor might adjust your dosage based on your response to the treatment. Ensure you drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration.
Promptly report any side effects to your doctor. Potential side effects include: nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, heartburn, dizziness, drowsiness, and headaches. Seek immediate medical assistance if you experience an allergic or hypersensitive reaction.
Irovel might not be suitable for everyone. Before starting treatment, be sure your doctor is informed about any of the following that apply to you: if you are taking any other prescription or over-the-counter medications; if you use any vitamins or supplements; if you have any pre-existing medical conditions or illnesses; if you have any allergies; if you are pregnant or breastfeeding; if you have any significant personal or family medical history.
