Avalide (Irbesartan/HCTZ)
Avalide generic is a combination of irbesartan and hydrochlorothiazide that is used to treat high blood pressure. Irbesartan is in a class of medications called angiotensin II antagonists. It works by blocking the action of certain natural chemicals that tighten the blood vessels, making blood flow more smoothly. Hydrochlorothiazide is in a class of medications called diuretics. It works by ridding the kidneys of unneeded water and salt from the body into the urine.
You can easily buy Avalide generic online from Canada Pharmacy and have it delivered right to your doorstep with quality guarantee.
