Eligibility

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Patients with proved mild to moderate hypertension.
Newly diagnosed "naïve" hypertensive patients (no prior treatment for hypertension)OR
Patients who were receiving antihypertensive agents (maximum two - one of them is diuretic) and who in the investigator's opinion would benefit more from switching to the study medication. These patients will undergo a wash out period for not less than 7 days prior to enrollment.

Exclusion Criteria:

Severe hypertension (Systolic Blood Pressure ≥ 180 mm Hg or Diastolic Blood Pressure ≥ 110 mm Hg).
Patients with secondary hypertension (for another cause other than type 2 diabetes mellitus).
Patients with HbA1c > 10%.
Significant chronic renal impairment (Serum creatinine > 2.0 mg/dL).
Significant liver disease as shown by SGPT/SGOT (ALAT/ASAT) > 2.5 times the upper limit of the normal range.
Currently pregnant or lactating females.
Women of childbearing potential not protected by effective contraceptive method of birth control and/or who are unwilling or unable to be tested for pregnancy.
Any patient who is in need for a combination antihypertensive therapy from the start (from the medical point of view of his physician).
Known hypersensitivity to irbesartan, other ARBs (Angiotensin Receptor Blockers), hydrochlorothiazide, or other thiazide diuretics.
Patients with malignancy during the past 5 years, known collagen disease or severe cardiac, cerebrovascular or gastric disease.
