Azilsartan Medoxomil 80mg Tablets

Product Introduction

Azilsartan Medoxomil 80mg is an angiotensin II receptor blocker used for high blood pressure. It relaxes blood vessels by blocking angiotensin II at AT1 receptors, helping lower blood pressure and reduce strain on the heart and blood vessels. Azilsartan controls hypertension but does not cure it, so it is usually taken every day even when symptoms are absent. It may be used alone or with other blood-pressure medicines depending on response.

How to use

Take Azilsartan Medoxomil 80mg once daily or as prescribed, at the same time each day. It can be taken with or without food. Keep blood-pressure and lab monitoring appointments. Do not stop on your own because blood pressure may rise again.

How it works

Azilsartan medoxomil is converted to azilsartan, which blocks angiotensin II AT1 receptors. This reduces blood-vessel tightening and aldosterone-related effects, lowering blood pressure.

Common side effects

Possible side effects include dizziness, tiredness, low blood pressure symptoms, diarrhoea, nausea, muscle spasm, and changes in kidney tests or potassium. Serious warning signs include fainting, very low blood pressure, swelling of face or throat, reduced urination, severe weakness, irregular heartbeat, or pregnancy exposure.

Important information

Do not use during pregnancy and tell the prescriber immediately if pregnancy occurs. Use caution with kidney disease, renal artery stenosis, dehydration, high potassium, heart failure, older age, diuretics, NSAIDs, lithium, potassium supplements, salt substitutes, and other ARBs/ACE inhibitors.
