A prodrug called azilsartan medoxomil is used to treat hypertension. Azilsartan, a selective angiotensin II receptor antagonist in the angiotensin-receptor blocking (ARB) class of medications, is the result of the breakdown of this carboxylic ester.
It is not recommended to consume alcohol while using AZILSARTAN MEDOXOMIL. It might make the illness worse.
As a category C medication that harms the developing foetus, AZILSARTAN MEDOXOMIL is not advised for use by pregnant women.
Breastfeeding moms shouldn't use AZILSARTAN MEDOXOMIL.
Please speak with your doctor before taking any medication if you have a history of kidney illness or detect any symptoms of the condition.
Please see your doctor before taking any medication if you have a history of liver-related conditions or evidence of such conditions.
AZILSARTAN MEDOXOMIL may make you feel lightheaded and impair your driving skills.
Azilsartan medoxomil is used in the management of hypertension, or elevated blood pressure, as well as in the prophylaxis of stroke and heart attack. One such angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) is amitriptan medoxomil. By inhibiting the action of a substance that often causes blood vessels to constrict, it relaxes the blood vessels.
Hypertension is a chronic (long-term) medical disorder characterized by consistently raised blood pressure that is higher than normal. It happens when the blood exerts too much force on the blood vessel wall.
It is important for you to know that this medicine can cause harm or death to your unborn baby. Therefore, if you are planning a pregnancy or have become pregnant, consult your doctor right away. Your doctor may switch you to a different medicine to treat your high blood pressure.
Both Aziltrend and telmisartan are blood pressure-lowering medicines. Aziltrend is a relatively new medicine. It has been found to be as effective as telmisartan in lowering blood pressure. It can be safely used in patients as it has fewer side effects.
You should take Aziltrend exactly as directed by your doctor. It is for oral use and is usually taken once a day. You should take it with plenty of water, with or without food. It is recommended that you take this medicine at the same time every day.
Aziltrend belongs to a class of medicines called angiotensin II receptor antagonists (AIIRAs). Angiotensin II is a substance which occurs naturally in the body. It tightens the blood vessels, which in turn increases the blood pressure. Aziltrend blocks this effect so that the blood vessels relax, which helps lower your blood pressure.
Aziltrend may take about 2 weeks to show a visible reduction in blood pressure. Full benefits of Aziltrend may take a little longer, about 4 weeks.
You should not take Aziltrend if you are allergic to it or if you are pregnant. Avoid its use if you have diabetes or impaired kidney function and are being treated with a blood pressure-lowering medicine containing aliskiren.
Taking more than the recommended dose of Aziltrend may decrease your blood pressure due to which you may feel dizzy or may even faint. Consult your doctor immediately or seek emergency medical aid in a nearby hospital.
No, do not stop taking Aziltrend without speaking to your doctor, even if you are feeling well or your blood pressure is controlled. Stopping it suddenly may increase your blood pressure which may increase your risk of stroke.
