How does Avalide work?
The two main ingredients of Avalide – Irbesartan and Hydrochlorothiazide work in combination – the diuretic stops the body from over-absorbing salts and thereby stops fluid retention that can increase pressure. The angiotensin II receptor blocker on the other hand keeps the blood vessels dilated and open, an effect that also helps keep blood pressure under control. The twin effect of this double drug strongly aids treatment and brings down blood pressure quickly.
