Irecon Tablet 300mg

Irecon Tablet 300mg contains Irbesartan 300mg, an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB). Made by Barrett Hodgson Pakistan Ltd, it is prescribed for high blood pressure and kidney disease in type 2 diabetes. Pack size: 10 tablets.

Uses of Irecon Tablet 300mg

Irecon Tablet 300mg is used to treat high blood pressure in adults. In people with type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure who already have signs of kidney damage, it also helps slow the progression of kidney disease. By lowering blood pressure it reduces the long-term strain on the heart, brain and kidneys, though it needs to be taken regularly to keep working.

How Irecon Tablet 300mg works

Irbesartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker. It stops angiotensin II, a natural hormone, from narrowing the blood vessels and causing the body to retain salt. The vessels relax, blood pressure falls, and pressure inside the kidneys’ filtering units is reduced, which helps protect them.

Possible side effects

Side effects are uncommon with Irecon Tablet 300mg and usually mild. They may include:

• Dizziness, especially when standing up
• Tiredness
• Nausea or vomiting
• Muscle or bone pain
• Raised potassium in blood tests

Get emergency help if your face, lips, tongue or throat swell, or you have difficulty breathing.

Precautions and warnings

• Take it regularly, even when you feel well, as high blood pressure often has no symptoms.
• Your doctor will check your kidney function and potassium level, particularly if you have diabetes or kidney disease.
• Avoid potassium supplements and potassium-containing salt substitutes unless advised, and check before taking NSAIDs, lithium or other blood pressure medicines.
• If you have severe vomiting or diarrhoea, contact your doctor, as dehydration makes dizziness and kidney problems more likely.
• It must not be used during pregnancy and is not recommended while breastfeeding.

Storage

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it in the original pack until use. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
