Uses of Co-Aprovel 150/12.5mg Tablet

Co-Aprovel 150/12.5mg Tablet is used to treat high blood pressure in adults when a single medicine has not lowered it enough. Keeping blood pressure under control reduces the risk of stroke, heart attack, heart failure and kidney damage. High blood pressure often causes no symptoms, so the medicine needs to be taken regularly even when you feel well.

How Co-Aprovel 150/12.5mg Tablet works

Irbesartan blocks the action of angiotensin II, a hormone that narrows blood vessels, so the vessels relax and widen. Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic that helps the kidneys remove extra salt and water. Together they lower blood pressure more effectively than either medicine alone.
