Product Description:
- Edarbi contains the active ingredient azilsartan medoxomil, which belongs to a class of medicines known as angiotensin II-receptor antagonists.
- Angiotensin II is a natural substance in the body that causes blood vessels to narrow, thus raising your blood pressure.
- Idarbi blocks this effect, causing blood vessels to relax, which helps lower your blood pressure.
- This medicine is used to treat high blood pressure (essential hypertension) in adult patients (over 18 years of age).
- You may notice a decrease in your blood pressure within two weeks of starting treatment, and the full effect of your dose is observed after four weeks.

- Your doctor may increase this dose to a maximum of 80 mg once daily depending on your blood pressure response.
