Adverse effects of Irbesartan have been reported to be usually mild and transient, and include dizziness, headache, and dose-related orthostatic hypotension.
Hypotension may occur particularly in patient with volume depletion (for example those who have received high dose diuretics). Impaired renal function and, rarely, rash, urticaria, pruritus, angioedema, and raised liver enzyme values may occur. Hyperkalaemia, myalgia, and arthralgia have been reported.
Irbesartan appears less likely than ACE inhibitors to cause cough.
Other adverse effects that have been reported with angiotensin II receptor antagonists include respiratory-tract disorders, back pain, gastrointestinal disturbances, fatigue, and neutropenia. Rhabdomyolysis has been reported rarely.
