Medicine details
- CATEGORY OF ARENA 150 MG TABLETS:
- • Anti-Hypertensive Drugs
- MECHANISM OF ACTION OF IRBESARTAN:
- • Irbesartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). It works by blocking a substance in the body that causes blood vessels to constrict.
- • As a result, irbesartan relaxes the blood vessels. This lowers blood pressure and increases the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart.
- NON-PHARMACOLOGICAL TREATMENTS & ADVICE TO REDUCE BLOOD PRESSURE:
- • To measure blood pressure correctly:
- • Don’t eat or drink anything 30 minutes before you take your blood pressure.
- • Empty your bladder before your reading.
- • Sit in a comfortable chair with your back supported for at least 5 minutes before your reading.
- • Put both feet flat on the ground and keep your legs uncrossed.
- • Rest your arm with the cuff on a table at chest height.
- • Make sure the blood pressure cuff is snug but not too tight. The cuff should be against your bare skin, not over clothing.
- • Do not talk while your blood pressure is being measured.
- • You will also find the following Non-Pharmacological treatments effective in blood pressure reduction:
