When did irbesartan first go on the market?

Irbesartan (spelled “irbesartan,” not “irbdrsartan”) first reached the market in the mid-to-late 1990s, with initial U.S. approval occurring in 1997.

What does “first on the market” mean—approval date vs. launch date?

Drug “first on the market” can be reported in two ways:
- First regulatory approval (e.g., FDA approval year for the original product)
- First commercial launch/sale (when the product actually becomes available to patients)

The date most commonly cited publicly is the regulatory approval year.

Where can I verify the exact first-launch date?

Important spelling check

If you meant a different product than irbesartan, tell me the exact brand name (or spell it as it appears on the label), and I can narrow the market date to the correct drug.
