What Experts Say

Irbesartan blocks angiotensin II, a hormone that tightens blood vessels and raises blood pressure. By relaxing the vessels, it lowers pressure and eases the workload on the heart.

It is also specifically used to protect the kidneys in people with type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure, since it slows the progression of kidney damage in this group.

Blood pressure control is a long term commitment, and irbesartan works best taken every day even when a person feels well. Blood pressure, kidney function and potassium levels are monitored during treatment.
