Description:
Giozar-D (50/12.5mg) is a combination prescription medication used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension). It contains Irbesartan (50mg), an Angiotensin II Receptor Blocker (ARB), and Hydrochlorothiazide (12.5mg), a thiazide diuretic.
This combination works by relaxing blood vessels, removing excess fluid, and lowering blood pressure, reducing strain on the heart and supporting overall cardiovascular health.
Giozar-D is ideal for patients whose blood pressure is not controlled by a single medication.
