No, Avapro is not a beta-blocker. It is the brand name for irbesartan, which is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) used primarily to treat high blood pressure and kidney disease in patients with Diabetes. Beta-blockers, on the other hand, work by blocking the effects of adrenaline on the heart and blood vessels.
