Avalide is a combination medication used to treat high blood pressure. One component irbesartan belongs to a class of blood pressure medications that prevents the hormone angiotensin II from constricting the blood vessels thereby allowing blood to flow more freely and keeping blood pressure down. The other component hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic that increases the output of urine removing excess fluid from the body and thus lowering blood pressure. Combinations such as Avalide are usually prescribed only when treatment with a single medication fails to lower blood pressure sufficiently. Avalide can be combined with yet other blood pressure medicines if your pressure remains too high. Avalide tablets come in two strengths:

150 milligrams irbesartan with 12.5 milligrams hydrochlorothiazide

300 milligrams irbesartan with 12.5 milligrams hydrochlorothiazide

ADULTS

The usual starting dose of Avalide is 1 lower-strength tablet daily. It will take 2 to 4 weeks for Avalide to reach its maximum effectiveness. If your blood pressure does not respond to the initial dosage your doctor may increase the dosage to 1 higher-strength tablet or 2 lower-strength tablets taken once a day.
