How To Use Irbesartan (Avapro)

Irbesartan comes in tablet form to take by mouth. You can take this medicine without regard to meals. Try to take your medicine at around the same time every day. This will help you remember to take it.

Read the prescription label carefully and take irbesartan exactly as your doctor has prescribed it. Do not change the dose or dosing frequency without talking to your healthcare professional.

Your doctor may start you on a low dose of irbesartan and gradually increase the dose based on your response. It can take up to 2 weeks to notice an improvement in your blood pressure readings at home. Irbesartan may help to control hypertension but will not cure the condition. Do not stop taking irbesartan without talking to your doctor, even if you feel well and your blood pressure readings are in the normal range at home.

Missed dose: If you miss a dose of irbesartan, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take the next dose according to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose or extra medicine to make up for a missed dose.

Storage: Store at room temperature (between 15-30° C or 59-86° F) away from moisture, heat, and direct light in a tightly closed container. Do not store medications in the bathroom where they can be exposed to moisture and heat. Keep all medications safely out of reach of children and pets.

Unused medicine: Unused irbesartan should be disposed of in a way that children, other people, and pets cannot get to them. Do not throw irbesartan in the trash or flush it down the toilet. The best way to dispose of expired or unneeded irbesartan is through a drug take-back program. Learn more about proper medication disposal.
