Edarbi (Azilsartan Medoxomil)

Edarbi Information:

Edarbi (generic name azilsartan medoxomil) is used to lower high blood pressure in adults, alone or along with thiazide diuretics or calcium channel blockers. Edarbi is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB). You can recognize an ARB because its medicinal ingredient ends in“-SARTAN”. This medicine does not cure your disease. It helps to control it. Therefore, it is important to continue taking Edarbi regularly even if you feel fine. Symptoms of high blood pressure include severe headache, fatigue, confusion, chest pain, difficulty breathing, vision problems, and irregular heartbeat. If you are diagnosed with any of the symptoms, your doctor will discuss the most effective treatment for your particular condition.
