Overview
Bezartan 150mg Tablet contains irbesartan 150mg, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and to protect kidney function in people with type 2 diabetes and diabetic kidney disease. It helps lower blood pressure and reduce the strain on both the heart and kidneys.
Irbesartan works by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a hormone that narrows blood vessels and raises blood pressure. By blocking this effect, irbesartan allows blood vessels to relax and widen, lowering blood pressure and easing pressure-related damage to the kidneys.
How it Works
Irbesartan selectively blocks the AT1 receptor, preventing angiotensin II from constricting blood vessels and triggering aldosterone release, which would otherwise raise blood pressure and promote sodium retention. This relaxes blood vessels and also reduces pressure within the kidney’s filtering units, slowing the progression of diabetic kidney disease.
Directions for Use
Take Bezartan 150mg Tablet once daily, at about the same time each day, with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not stop taking this medicine suddenly without consulting your doctor, even if you feel well, as blood pressure and kidney protection need continuous treatment.
Dosage
The usual starting dose of Bezartan 150mg Tablet for hypertension is 150mg once daily, which your doctor may increase up to 300mg daily depending on your blood pressure response; a lower starting dose may be used in some patients. Always take the dose your doctor has prescribed for your specific condition.
