Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Delighted to be able to help.

Despite recent changes to Irbesartan/Hydrochlorothiazide 300/12.5mg your blood pressure remains high. It is recommend adding a third drug to control blood pressure. Drugs such as Verapamil or Bisoprolol are effective with few adverse effects.

If blood pressure continues to remain high with three different drugs, your doctor must request additional tests to rule out high blood pressure due to kidney pathology, endocrine pathology, etc.

Please, consult your doctor for prescription.

I Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions, I will be happy to help.If you do not have any clarifications, please don’t forget to evaluate my answer.

I wish you good health.
