I was prescribed Avapro 300mg (Irbesartan) a few months ago to manage my high blood pressure and protect my kidneys due to type 2 diabetes. The medication works by relaxing blood vessels, which helps lower blood pressure. I've noticed a significant improvement in my blood pressure readings, and my doctor is happy with my progress. However, I've experienced some mild dizziness, especially when standing up quickly. I've read that this is a common side effect, but I'm wondering if anyone else has found ways to mitigate it? I've also been a bit anxious about the more severe side effects, like signs of an allergic reaction or kidney problems. Has anyone had any of these serious side effects, and how did you handle them? It's scary to think about, but I know it's important to stay informed. I'm also curious about whether anyone has had to adjust their diet or supplements due to the potential for high potassium levels. I'm generally feeling good on this medication, but I'm always open to hearing other people's experiences.
