About Gooday tablet 75mg

Gooday tablet 75mg Uses

• High blood pressure (hypertension)
• Kidney protection in type 2 diabetes with nephropathy
• Long term cardiovascular risk reduction
• Used alone or combined with other blood pressure medicines

Drug Class

• Angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB)
• Antihypertensive agent

What Experts Say

Irbesartan blocks the angiotensin II receptor, which relaxes blood vessels and lowers blood pressure, and it also reduces protein loss in the kidneys of people with diabetes.

It is taken once daily at the same time, with or without food, and its full blood pressure lowering effect builds up over several weeks of regular use.

It can raise blood potassium levels and affect kidney function, so it should be avoided in pregnancy and blood pressure or kidney function should be checked periodically.
