Aprovasc combines irbesartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker, with amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker. Together, these medicines work through complementary mechanisms to relax blood vessels and lower blood pressure effectively.
This fixed-dose combination is prescribed for adults whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled with either component alone. Maintaining blood pressure within the recommended range helps reduce the risk of stroke, heart attack, heart failure, and chronic kidney disease.
