What is high blood pressure (hypertension)?
Blood pressure is the force in your blood vessels when your heart beats and when your heart rests. You have high blood pressure when the force is too great.
High blood pressure makes the heart work harder to pump blood through the body and causes damage to the blood vessels. Edarbi tablets can help your blood vessels relax so your blood pressure is lower.
Medicines that lower your blood pressure may lower your chance of having a stroke or heart attack.
What are the ingredients in Edarbi?
Active ingredient: azilsartan medoxomil
