Expert Advice

• Keep track of your blood pressure and check it often.
• Even if you feel OK, keep taking Azilsartan. High blood pressure typically doesn't have any symptoms.
• Without talking to a doctor beforehand, don't take potassium supplements or salt alternatives, as these could raise potassium levels.
• Drink enough water, but don't get dehydrated, especially if you are throwing up or have diarrhea.
• Tell your doctor if you have kidney disease, heart failure, or dehydration before you start taking the medicine.
• Don't drink alcohol because it can make you dizzy or decrease your blood pressure too much.

Side Effects

• Side Effects That Happen a Lot:
• Feeling dizzy or lightheaded
• Feeling tired or weak
• Feeling sick
• Muscle spasms
• Low blood pressure (hypotension)
• Not as common, but serious:
• High potassium levels (hyperkalemia)
• Changes in kidney function (higher creatinine)
• Face, lips, or throat swelling (a uncommon allergic reaction)
• If you get severe dizziness, trouble breathing, or swelling, call your doctor right once.

 How It Works

• Azilsartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB).
• It stops angiotensin II, a natural substance that makes blood arteries smaller, from working.
• Azilsartan lowers blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels and making it easier for blood to flow.
• It also keeps the heart and kidneys safe from damage caused by high blood pressure over time.

Medicine Interaction

• Do not take Azilsartan with:
• ACE inhibitors (such lisinopril or ramipril) or other ARBs raise the risk of renal injury or excessive potassium.
• Potassium supplements, spironolactone, and eplerenone can raise potassium levels to hazardous levels.
• NSAIDs (such ibuprofen and diclofenac) may not drop blood pressure as much and may hurt the kidneys.
• Lithium – the danger of lithium poisoning goes up.
• Diuretics, sometimes known as water tablets, may cause blood pressure to drop too low.
• Always tell your doctor about any medicines or herbal products you are using.

 How to Use

• Take one pill every day or as directed by your doctor.
• You can take it with or without food, but it's best to do it at the same time every day.
• Do not crumble or chew; just swallow whole with water.
• Even if you feel better, don't stop taking it without talking to your doctor.
• During treatment, check blood pressure and renal function on a regular basis.

 Uses / Indications

• Primary hypertension (elevated blood pressure)
• Heart failure (additional treatment)
• Protecting the kidneys in those with diabetes or high blood pressure that lasts for a long time
