X-Tension - 300 Mg 28 Tablets

X-Tension - 300 mg 28 Tablets

Description:

X-Tension 300 mg is a prescription antihypertensive medicine containing irbesartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) used for the long-term management of high blood pressure. By selectively blocking angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptors, it helps relax blood vessels, reduce peripheral vascular resistance, and lower blood pressure, thereby supporting cardiovascular health and reducing the risk of complications such as stroke, heart attack, and kidney damage. It is intended for adult patients under medical supervision as part of a comprehensive hypertension management plan, which may include lifestyle modification and other medications.

Indications:

• Treatment of essential (primary) hypertension in adults.
• Helps lower elevated blood pressure and maintain it within target ranges as prescribed by a physician.
• May be used as monotherapy or in combination with other antihypertensive agents (such as diuretics or calcium channel blockers) when additional blood pressure control is needed, as directed by a doctor.
• Supports reduction of cardiovascular risk associated with uncontrolled high blood pressure, such as risk of stroke, myocardial infarction, and hypertensive complications, when used as part of an overall treatment plan.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Irbesartan – 300 mg per tablet (angiotensin II receptor blocker, ARB).
• Other excipients: Information on inactive ingredients (such as fillers, binders, and coloring agents) is not available in the provided data. Please refer to the official package leaflet for the full excipient list.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Dosage: The usual adult dose of X-Tension (irbesartan) is determined by the prescribing physician based on the patient’s condition, blood pressure response, and concomitant medications. A 300 mg strength is typically used as a maintenance or higher-dose option in hypertension management.
• Administration: Take the tablet orally with a glass of water. Swallow whole; do not crush or chew unless your doctor or pharmacist specifically advises otherwise.
• With or without food: X-Tension tablets can be taken with or without food. Try to take the medicine at the same time each day to help maintain consistent blood levels.
• Frequency: Usually taken once daily, or as prescribed by your doctor.
• Duration of use: Hypertension treatment is generally long-term. Do not stop taking X-Tension without consulting your doctor, even if you feel well, as high blood pressure often has no symptoms.
• Missed dose: If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for your next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed tablet.
• Special populations: Dose adjustments may be required in patients with renal impairment, hepatic impairment, or in elderly patients. Use only under strict medical supervision in these groups.

Clinical Benefits:

• Effectively lowers elevated blood pressure by blocking the vasoconstrictor and aldosterone-secreting effects of angiotensin II.
• Helps reduce peripheral vascular resistance, improving blood flow and easing the workload on the heart.
• Supports long-term cardiovascular protection by helping to reduce the risk of complications associated with uncontrolled hypertension, such as stroke and heart attack, when used as directed.
• Generally well tolerated and can be combined with other antihypertensive medications (such as diuretics) when additional blood pressure control is needed, under medical guidance.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to irbesartan or any of the excipients.
• Contraindicated during pregnancy, especially in the second and third trimesters, due to risk of fetal toxicity and death. If pregnancy is detected, discontinue X-Tension as soon as possible.
• Not recommended during breastfeeding unless clearly needed and only under medical supervision.
• Use with caution in patients with renal impairment, renal artery stenosis, severe heart failure, or hepatic impairment. Regular monitoring of kidney function and serum potassium may be required.
• May cause hyperkalemia (elevated potassium levels), especially when used with potassium-sparing diuretics, potassium supplements, or salt substitutes containing potassium. Monitor potassium levels as advised by your doctor.
• Symptomatic hypotension may occur, particularly in volume-depleted patients (e.g., those on high-dose diuretics, on low-salt diet, or with vomiting/diarrhea). Correct volume depletion before starting treatment if possible.
• Patients with a history of angioedema with other renin-angiotensin system agents should be monitored carefully.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant, nursing, taking other medications, or if you have medical conditions such as kidney disease, liver disease, heart failure, diabetes, or electrolyte imbalances.
• Do not use this medicine without a doctor’s prescription and regular follow-up for blood pressure and laboratory monitoring.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease without appropriate medical supervision.

Side Effects:

• Common side effects may include dizziness, fatigue, headache, or mild gastrointestinal discomfort (nausea, abdominal pain). These are usually transient and mild.
• Less common side effects can include hypotension (low blood pressure), especially in volume-depleted patients, and hyperkalemia (high potassium levels), which may present as muscle weakness, irregular heartbeat, or tingling sensations.
• Rare but serious side effects may include kidney function deterioration, severe hypotension, or hypersensitivity reactions such as rash, itching, or angioedema (swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat).
• Seek immediate medical attention if you experience difficulty breathing, swelling of the face or throat, severe dizziness, fainting, or signs of severe allergic reaction.
• Report any unusual or persistent symptoms to your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
