How Irbesartan + Metoprolol Succinate works

Irbesartan + Metoprolol Succinate 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.
