No withdrawal: symptoms from Avapro (irbesartan) .Just monitor your blood pressure,and if it goes above 140/90 consistently,return to your treating physician with your numbers.

Was taking 25mg Athenolol for HBP along with avapro 300mg. Started cutting my atenolol dose in half as my resting heart rate hovers around 59-60. The 25mg pills are hard to cut properly and so i sometimes take an uneven dose. Can this cause issues?
