Product introduction
Irbekem MT Tablet ER is a medicine used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It works by relaxing the blood vessels allowing the blood to flow more easily. It also slows down the heart rate and reduces cardiac workload. By lowering the blood pressure, it helps in preventing future heart attack and stroke.
Irbekem MT Tablet ER may be taken with or without food. Take it regularly and at a fixed time each day to maintain consistent levels of medicine in the blood. Keep taking it for as long as advised by your doctor. Do not stop taking the medicine on your own even if you feel better, as high blood pressure often has no symptoms. If you stop taking it, your condition may get worse. Staying active with regular exercise, reducing your weight and eating a healthy diet will also help control your blood pressure. Follow your doctor’s advice while taking this medicine.
Some common side effects of this medicine include tiredness, dizziness, slow heart rate, low blood pressure, diarrhea, rash, or upset stomach.

Before taking it, let your doctor know if you have any liver or kidney problems. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also consult their doctor for advice before taking this medicine. You also need to tell your doctor what other medicines you are taking, especially those used to treat high blood pressure or heart conditions.

How Irbekem MT Tablet ER works
Irbekem MT Tablet ER is a combination of irbesartan and metoprolol succinate. Irbesartan works by blocking the action of angiotensin II (a hormone that constricts blood vessels) at its binding sites, leading to widening of blood vessels and a reduction in blood pressure. It also reduces the secretion of aldosterone, helping to decrease fluid retention. Metoprolol Succinate is a beta-blocker that reduces the heart's response to stress hormones. This leads to a decrease in heart rate and the force of contractions, resulting in reduced blood pressure and decreased oxygen demand by the heart.
