AVALIDE DESCRIPTION
Avalide (Irbesartan/Hydrochlorothiazide) - Tablet
Avalide is manufactured by Bristol-Myers Squibb. This medication is a combination of two drugs that are used to reduce high blood pressure. Irbesartan belongs to a class of medications called angiotensin II blockers and helps to lower blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels. Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic or "water pill" that helps control blood pressure by getting rid of excess salt and water.
This medication is most often prescribed when other drugs have been found not to be effective or to have side effects, and when a person's blood pressure is stabilized on irbesartan and hydrochlorothiazide taken individually. Your doctor may choose to use this medication for other conditions. If you are unsure why you are taking this medication, contact your doctor.

Why is Avalide prescribed?
Avalide is a combination medication used to treat high blood pressure. One component, irbesartan, belongs to a class of blood pressure medications that prevents the hormone angiotensin II from constricting the blood vessels, thereby allowing blood to flow more freely and keeping blood pressure down. The other component, hydrochlorothiazide, is a diuretic that increases the output of urine, removing excess fluid from the body and thus lowering blood pressure.
Combinations such as Avalide are usually prescribed only when treatment with a single medication fails to lower blood pressure sufficiently. Avalide can be combined with yet other blood pressure medicines if your pressure remains too high.
Most important fact about Avalide
If you have high blood pressure, you must take Avalide regularly for it to be effective. Since blood pressure declines gradually, it may be several weeks before you get the full benefit of Avalide and you must continue taking it even if you are feeling well. Avalide does not cure high blood pressure, it merely keeps it under control.

Avalide can be taken with or without food. --If you miss a dose...Take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the one you missed and go back to your regular schedule. Never take 2 doses at the same time. --Storage instructions...
