WHAT EDARBI IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Edarbi contains an active substance called azilsartan medoxomil and
belongs to a class of medicines
called angiotensin II receptor antagonists (AIIRAs). Angiotensin II is
a substance which occurs
naturally in the body and which causes the blood vessels to tighten,
therefore increasing your blood
pressure. Edarbi blocks this effect so that the blood vessels relax,
which helps lower your blood
pressure.
This medicine is used for treating high blood pressure (essential
hypertension) in adult patients (over
18 years of age).
A reduction in your blood pressure will be measureable within 2 weeks
of initiation of treatment and
the full effect of your dose will be observed by 4 weeks.

CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Edarbi is indicated for the treatment of essential hypertension in
adults.
4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
The recommended starting dose in adults is 40 mg once daily. The dose
may be increased to a
maximum of 80 mg once daily for patients whose blood pressure is not
adequately controlled at the
lower dose.
Near-maximal antihypertensive effect is evident at 2 weeks, with
maximal effects attained by 4 weeks.
If blood pressure is not adequately controlled with Edarbi alone,
additional blood pressure reduction
can be achieved when this treatment is coadministered with other
antihypertensive medicinal products,
3
including diuretics (such as chlortalidone and hydrochlorothiazide)
and calcium channel blockers (see
sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.5 and 5.1).
_ _
_Special populations _
_Elderly (65 years and over) _
No initial dose adjustment with Edarbi is necessary in elderly
patients (see section 5.2), although
consideration can be given to 20 mg as a starting dose in the very
elderly (≥ 75 years), who may be at
risk of hypotension.
