Edarbi is FDA-approved for the treatment of hypertension in adults to lower blood pressure. It may be used alone or in combination with other antihypertensive agents.

Edarbi is not recommended during pregnancy as it may harm the fetus. Common side effects may include dizziness and diarrhea. Patients with kidney or liver impairment should use with caution. Avoid potassium supplements unless directed by a healthcare provider.
