Xarb H Tablet 10's

Question 1

How does Xarb H Tablet 10's work?

Xarb H Tablet 10's is a combination of two medicines, namely: Irbesartan and Hydrochlorothiazide.

Hydrochlorothiazide (diuretic or water pill), removes extra water and certain electrolytes from the body. Together, both lower fluid overload, blood pressure, improves blood flow, and reduce the future risk of a heart attack.
