Mode of actions

Hydrochlorothiazide works by preventing the kidneys from reabsorbing sodium and chloride in the distal tubules. This leads to the body getting rid of more sodium, water, potassium, and hydrogen ions through urine.

Irbesartan is a medication that blocks the action of angiotensin II, a substance that narrows blood vessels and increases blood pressure. It does this by attaching to AT1 receptors, which stops angiotensin II from causing blood vessels to tighten and from making the body release more aldosterone.
