Hello,

None of the drugs you've mentioned is equivalent to irbesartan. Doxazosin and carvedilol may also lower his blood pressure but they do not belong to the same drug class and cannot be compared to irbesartan. Perhaps you haven't mentioned all the drugs he's taking? Please let me know if he's using other medications as well.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
