Eprosartan
Eprosartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It works by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a natural substance that causes blood vessels to narrow, thereby allowing blood to flow more easily and reducing blood pressure.
Eprosartan is an ARB medication that lowers blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels.

Treatment of essential hypertension (high blood pressure) in adults. May be used alone or in combination with other antihypertensive agents.
Eprosartan selectively blocks the angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor, preventing angiotensin II from binding and causing vasoconstriction. This results in relaxation of blood vessels and decreased blood pressure.
Not recommended during pregnancy (especially 2nd and 3rd trimesters) due to potential fetal harm. May cause dizziness or hypotension, especially when starting treatment. Use with caution in patients with kidney impairment, heart failure, or those taking potassium-sparing diuretics. Avoid concurrent use with aliskiren in patients with diabetes.
