Edarbi Helps Treat the Following Conditions:

Hypertension

Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is the force with which blood pushes against the walls of blood vessels. There are two components to any blood pressure reading: systolic pressure (the pressure in the blood vessels when the heart beats) and diastolic pressure (the pressure in between beats when the heart is at rest).

People with clinical hypertension have systolic pressure higher than 130 mmHg and diastolic pressure higher than 80 mmHg. If left untreated, high blood pressure drastically increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, and kidney problems. It is possible to successfully reduce high blood pressure through dietary changes, regular physical exercise, and medication.

Generic Alternatives to Edarbi

General Drug Information

What is Edarbi and What Is It Used For?

Edarbi is prescribed to patients with hypertension (high blood pressure). Lowering blood pressure helps to reduce the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney problems.

Usage and Application

Before sourcing Edarbi or its generic alternatives online, please read the medication guide prescribed by your doctor or pharmacist.

Edarbi should be taken exactly as prescribed by a doctor. The dosage depends on the patient’s medical condition and response to treatment. Most patients are directed to take Edarbi once a day, with or without food.

It is important to take this medication regularly in order to experience its full benefit. Patients should take the medication at the same time every day to prevent forgetting.

Patients should inform their doctor if their blood pressure readings remain high, or if their condition worsens.

Considerations Before Taking Edarbi

If you shop for Edarbi online, note that you may encounter the drug under its generic name azilsartan.

Before sourcing Edarbi (or generic alternatives) and starting treatment, discuss the possibility of allergic reactions to Edarbi’s active or inactive ingredients. Ask your pharmacist for more details.

It is important to discuss the patient’s medical history, especially dehydration.

Edarbi may cause dizziness. Patients should not drive, use machinery, or do anything that requires alertness until they are in condition to do so safely. Alcohol and marijuana can exacerbate dizziness, so patients should limit alcoholic beverages and discuss their marijuana use with their doctor.

Edarbi may increase levels of potassium in the body. Discuss the use of potassium supplements and salt substitutes containing potassium with your doctor or pharmacist.

Before surgery or certain dental procedures, tell your doctor or dentist about all prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, and herbal products you are taking.

Older adults may be more sensitive to the side effects of Edarbi, and may experience dizziness and changes in the amount of urine production.

Delayed and Omitted Doses

Patients who miss a dose of Edarbi should take it as soon as they remember. If this happens near the time for the next dose, patients should skip the missed dose and proceed as usual. Patients should not double up on the dose in order to catch up.

Other Medications and Edarbi

Drug interactions may change the way Edarbi and its generic alternatives work, increasing the risk of side effects. Before starting treatment, patients should disclose a list of all of their medications and supplements with their doctor. Patients should not change their dose or stop taking this medication unless their physician advises them to do so.

Some medications – such as blood pressure medications containing aliskiren (e.g. Tekturna) and the mood stabilizer lithium (e.g. Eskalith) – may interact negatively with Edarbi. This is also the case with drugs that are likely to increase potassium levels like hypertension drugs benazepril and lisinopril, and birth control pills containing drospirenone (e.g Angeliq)

Patients should also note that some products (especially diet pills, cough-and-cold products, and NSAIDs) may contain ingredients that can raise blood pressure. Patients should discuss the safe use of these products with their doctor or pharmacist.
