Does Avalide (irbesartan / hydrochlorothiazide) cause weight gain?

Should I take Avalide (irbesartan / hydrochlorothiazide) at night or in the morning?

You can take Avalide (irbesartan / hydrochlorothiazide) any time of the day. But you might want to take it in the morning or early afternoon because the [hydrochlorothiazide](https://www.goodrx.com/hydrochlorothiazide/what-is) component of the medication can make you urinate more often. What's more important is taking Avalide (irbesartan / hydrochlorothiazide) consistently [around the same time](https://www.goodrx.com/conditions/hypertension/when-to-take-blood-pressure-medication) each day, so the level of this medication stays steady in your body. If you have any questions about when's the best time to take Avalide (irbesartan / hydrochlorothiazide), talk with your prescriber.

How long does Avalide (irbesartan / hydrochlorothiazide) stay in your system?

It takes about 2 to 3 days for irbesartan and about 1 to 3 days for hydrochlorothiazide to leave your body after a dose. This time frame is estimated based on the [half-life](https://www.goodrx.com/drugs/medication-basics/drug-half-life) of these medications. The half-life can be longer in people with [kidney problems](https://www.goodrx.com/conditions/kidney-disease) because Avalide (irbesartan / hydrochlorothiazide) is removed by the kidneys. Talk with your healthcare team if you have any specific concerns related to how long this medication stays in your body.

Does Avalide (irbesartan / hydrochlorothiazide) affect sleep?

No, Avalide (irbesartan / hydrochlorothiazide) shouldn't make you sleepy or keep you awake at night. But, Avalide (irbesartan / hydrochlorothiazide) contains [hydrochlorothiazide](https://www.goodrx.com/hydrochlorothiazide/what-is), a water pill that might make you urinate more. So if you take your dose too late in the day, you might need to wake up throughout the night to go to the bathroom. So you might want to take your dose in the morning.

How Avalide (irbesartan / hydrochlorothiazide) works

Avalide (irbesartan / hydrochlorothiazide) is an ARB / thiazide diuretic combination of two medications that work together to lower blood pressure.

Irbesartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). It works by blocking angiotensin II, a hormone that's naturally found in the body. This helps relax your blood vessels so blood can flow through more easily.
Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic (water pill). It works in your kidneys to remove extra water and certain electrolytes (like sodium and potassium).

Pharmacist tips for Avalide (irbesartan / hydrochlorothiazide)

Mark your calendar with your appointments to see your prescriber and to get any blood work done when you take Avalide (irbesartan / hydrochlorothiazide). Your care team will order tests (e.g., electrolytes, kidney function, blood pressure) during treatment and might change your dose based on your results.
You can take Avalide (irbesartan / hydrochlorothiazide) with or without food at any time of day. If it hurts your stomach, taking it with food might help.
You might want to check your blood pressure at home, keep a record of your readings, and bring this log to your medical appointments. This helps your prescriber better understand how well Avalide (irbesartan / hydrochlorothiazide) is working for you and they can recommend any dose changes if needed.
Avalide (irbesartan / hydrochlorothiazide) can cause dizziness, especially when you first start taking it or when your dose goes up. These symptoms should lessen as you continue taking the medication. Stand up slowly from sitting or lying positions to prevent falls. Let your prescriber know if you feel faint, lightheaded, or confused.
Take Avalide (irbesartan / hydrochlorothiazide) exactly as prescribed. Don't change your dose or stop taking the medication suddenly without talking to your prescriber first. Doing so can cause your blood pressure to rise quickly. You might need to lower your dose slowly over time before you can completely stop taking it.
It's best to avoid or limit how much alcohol you drink because it can cause a drop in your blood pressure. This can lead to dizziness and falls.
Avalide (irbesartan / hydrochlorothiazide) can interact with many other medications, such as lithium (Lithobid) and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) (e.g., ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin)). Make sure to tell your care team about all the medications you're taking before and during treatment with Avalide (irbesartan / hydrochlorothiazide).
Don't take any potassium supplements, salts containing potassium, or other medications that raise potassium levels unless directed by your prescriber. If you're not sure if your medications, supplements, or salts contain potassium, ask your prescriber or pharmacist.
If you're taking a bile acid sequestrant like cholestyramine (Prevalite) or colestipol (Colestid), take Avalide (irbesartan / hydrochlorothiazide) at least 4 hours before or 4 hours after the bile acid sequestrant.
Avalide (irbesartan / hydrochlorothiazide) can make you more sensitive to sunlight, so you might sunburn more easily. You might want to apply sunscreen and wear protective clothing when going out.
If you're pregnant, thinking of getting pregnant, or breastfeeding and are taking Avalide (irbesartan / hydrochlorothiazide), contact your prescriber right away. Your prescriber will likely recommend a different medication that's safe during pregnancy.

Common questions about Irbesartan/HCTZ

Not usually. Weight gain isn't a typical side effect of Irbesartan/HCTZ. Let your primary care provider or cardiologist know if you experience unusual or unexpected weight gain while taking this medication.

You can take Irbesartan/HCTZ any time of the day. But you might want to take it in the morning or early afternoon because the hydrochlorothiazide component of the medication can make you urinate more often. What's more important is taking Irbesartan/HCTZ consistently around the same time each day, so the level of this medication stays steady in your body. If you have any questions about when's the best time to take Irbesartan/HCTZ, talk with your prescriber.

Since Irbesartan/HCTZ is made up of two medications, each medication stays in your system for a different amount of time. It takes about 2 to 3 days for irbesartan and about 1 to 3 days for hydrochlorothiazide to leave your body after a dose. This time frame is estimated based on the half-life of these medications. The half-life can be longer in people with kidney problems because Irbesartan/HCTZ is removed by the kidneys. Talk with your healthcare team if you have any specific concerns related to how long this medication stays in your body.

You might notice a change in your blood pressure within hours of taking Irbesartan/HCTZ. But it can take about 2 to 4 weeks to see the full blood pressure-lowering effect from this medication. Keep in mind that it can take some time before your prescriber finds a dose that works best for you, and they might need to adjust your dose depending on your blood pressure reading. It's also possible that your prescriber might add another blood pressure medication on top of Irbesartan/HCTZ. Make sure to be patient, continue taking this medication and follow up with your prescriber regularly.

No, Irbesartan/HCTZ shouldn't make you sleepy or keep you awake at night. But, Irbesartan/HCTZ contains hydrochlorothiazide, a water pill that might make you urinate more. So if you take your dose too late in the day, you might need to wake up throughout the night to go to the bathroom. So you might want to take your dose in the morning.

Don't cut Irbesartan/HCTZ tablets in half unless your healthcare team says it's safe to do so. Irbesartan/HCTZ is a combination medication and the tablets don't have a score line (line in the middle of the tablet to cut). It's generally not recommended to cut a combination medication, like Irbesartan/HCTZ, because the two halves of the cut pill might not contain the same amount of both medications. Also, it's difficult to cut a non-scored tablet evenly (even if you're using a pill splitter), which can cause you to take the wrong dose.

No, Avalide doesn't contain a beta blocker. Instead, it's a combination of two medications: irbesartan (an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB)) and hydrochlorothiazide (a thiazide diuretic). While beta blockers, ARBs, and diuretics all work to lower blood pressure, they do so in different ways. Ask your healthcare team if you've more questions on the different types of blood pressure medications.

Risks and warnings for Avalide (irbesartan / hydrochlorothiazide)

Avalide (irbesartan / hydrochlorothiazide) can cause some serious health issues. This risk may be even higher for certain groups. If this worries you, talk to your doctor or pharmacist about other options.
