2. What is KARVEA and what is it used for?

It contains 150 mg of irbesartan active substance. Angiotensin II receptor antagonists are known as a group of blood pressure lowering drugs. Angiotensin-II is a substance produced in the body.

KARVEA slows the decrease in renal function in patients with high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes (diabetes).
