A member asked:
Been on avapro (irbesartan) for 10 years, but been troubled by unknown cause if joint/muscular pain? should i try change meds, what r the long term side effects?

Not avapro (irbesartan): I can tell you, it's not avapro (irbesartan). But to convince yourself, try stopping it for 2 weeks. If you're better, restart it. If the symptoms come right back, you have evidence that it is avapro (irbesartan). (this procedure is standard operating procedure for determining a drug adverse reaction).
