Irovel is prescribed for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure). It has diuretic effects and acts as an angiotensin II receptor antagonist. The medication functions by dilating the blood vessels and eliminating excess salt and fluid retention, thereby allowing blood to flow more effectively.
Always take Irovel according to your doctor's instructions. Swallow the tablets whole; do not chew, crush, split, or dissolve them. Typically, patients are advised not to take the medication in the evening to prevent increased urination from disrupting their sleep.
You might need to attend regular blood pressure check-ups with your doctor. Make sure to keep all appointments, as your physician may decide to modify your dosage depending on your progress. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration.
Swiftly report any side effects to your doctor. Potential side effects include: nausea, stomach aches, vomiting, diarrhea, heartburn, dizziness, drowsiness, and headaches. If you experience any allergic or hypersensitive reactions, seek immediate medical assistance.
Irovel may not be suitable for everyone. Before starting the medication, ensure that 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 nursing, or if there is any relevant personal or family medical history.
