Patients with diabetes can take Irbesartan tablets.
Irbesartan tablets are an effective, active, and selective angiotensin II receptor antagonist, primarily used for treating essential hypertension. They also have a certain therapeutic effect on hypertensive patients with type 2 diabetic nephropathy. Diabetic patients taking Irbesartan should strictly follow medical instructions, closely monitor blood glucose levels, and pay attention to diet and exercise.
