Cavapro 300mg Tablet 1 Strip
Cavapro is indicated for:
Management of essential hypertension (high blood pressure)
Treatment of hypertensive renal disease in patients with type 2 diabetes, as part of a comprehensive antihypertensive regimen
✅ Description:
Irbesartan, the active ingredient in Cavapro, is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist. It selectively blocks AT1 receptors, thereby inhibiting the vasoconstrictive and aldosterone-secreting effects of angiotensin II. This results in blood pressure reduction and renal protection, particularly in diabetic patients.
✔️ Dosage & Administration of Cavapro 300
Adults:
- Usual dose: 150 mg once daily (with or without food)
- Can be increased to 300 mg once daily for better control
- Initiation with 75 mg may be appropriate for elderly patients (≥75 years) or those on hemodialysis
- Combination with a thiazide diuretic (e.g., hydrochlorothiazide) enhances antihypertensive effect
Type 2 Diabetic Patients with Renal Disease:
- Start with 150 mg once daily, then titrate to 300 mg once daily for optimal renal protection
Elderly:

Children & Adolescents:
