Overview

Aprovasc 150/5mg Tablet is a prescription-only medicine (POM) that contains Irbesartan 150mg and Amlodipine 5mg (as amlodipine besilate). It is supplied as a tablet and is dispensed in Malaysia only against a valid prescription issued by a registered doctor.

Under Malaysian rules for prescription medicines, this page carries product, safety and handling information only. Your doctor or pharmacist will explain whether this medicine is suitable for you, the dose you should take, and how long you should take it.

On DoctorOnCall, Aprovasc 150/5mg Tablet is reviewed by a licensed doctor through an online consultation and dispensed by a registered pharmacist before delivery. Always follow the instructions on your prescription label and the package insert supplied with the product, and do not share this medicine with anyone else.

Directions for Use

Take Aprovasc 150/5mg Tablet at the same time every day, with or without food, swallowing the tablet whole with water. Continue taking it even if your blood pressure normalises, and do not stop suddenly without consulting your doctor, as blood pressure control needs to be continuous.

Dosage

The usual dose of Aprovasc 150/5mg Tablet is one tablet once daily. Your doctor will determine the appropriate strength (150mg irbesartan / 5mg amlodipine) based on your blood pressure response and tolerability, often after monotherapy with either component alone has not achieved your target blood pressure.

Storage Instructions

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.

Drug / Food Interactions

  • Potassium supplements or potassium-sparing diuretics may increase the risk of high blood potassium
  • NSAIDs (e.g. ibuprofen) may reduce the blood-pressure-lowering effect and affect kidney function
  • Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g. ketoconazole, ritonavir) may increase amlodipine blood levels
  • Simvastatin – amlodipine may increase simvastatin levels, so a dose limit applies
