Edarbi® Tablets for Hypertension

Edarbi is a prescription angiotensin receptor blocker used to lower blood pressure in adults. This page explains how the tablets work, how to use them, and how to order with US shipping from Canada. You can also review options without insurance.

What Edarbi Is and How It Works

Edarbi® contains azilsartan medoxomil, a prodrug that converts to azilsartan after you swallow it. It selectively blocks angiotensin II type 1 receptors, which helps relax blood vessels and reduce aldosterone effects. That action lowers vascular resistance and supports blood pressure control in hypertension.

CanadianInsulin.com is a prescription referral platform. We verify prescriptions with your prescriber when required, and licensed Canadian pharmacies dispense your order.

Some references use the shorthand azilsartan edarbi to identify the medicine and its active moiety. This treatment is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), a class often chosen when patients need an alternative to ACE inhibitors. For background on ACE inhibitors and heart health, see the Altace Guide. For condition context, review our Hypertension category.

Who It’s For

This medicine is indicated to treat hypertension in adults. Lowering blood pressure helps reduce the risk of cardiovascular events as part of an overall management plan. It may be used alone or with other antihypertensive agents, as directed by a clinician.

Do not use during pregnancy because drugs that act on the renin-angiotensin system can cause fetal harm. Avoid combining with aliskiren if you have diabetes. People with severe kidney issues, low blood volume, or severe liver problems may require special precautions. Your clinician will determine suitability and monitoring in complex cases.

Dosage and Usage

Take this medicine once daily at about the same time each day. You can take it with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole with water. Your prescriber may adjust the plan based on your response and other medicines.

Check your home blood pressure at consistent times. Keep a log to share during follow-up visits. If your therapy includes other agents, your clinician will explain how to coordinate dosing. For context on beta blockers sometimes used in hypertension, see our Atenolol Guide.

Strengths and Forms

Edarbi tablets are generally available in three strengths: 20 mg, 40 mg, and 80 mg. Availability may vary by pharmacy and manufacturer. The edarbi generic name is azilsartan medoxomil, which identifies the active prodrug converted in the body.

Missed Dose and Timing

If you miss a dose, take it when you remember the same day. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose. Do not take two doses at once. Resume your regular schedule the next day.

Storage and Travel Basics

Store tablets at room temperature in a dry place away from excess heat and light. Keep in the original container with the label intact and out of reach of children and pets. Do not use tablets that are damaged, discolored, or past the labeled expiration date.

For travel, carry your medication in your hand luggage with a copy of your prescription. Keep the container closed between doses. If changing time zones, maintain once-daily use at roughly the same interval each day. Bring your prescriber’s contact details and a simple list of current medicines.

Benefits

This ARB can help lower blood pressure with once-daily dosing. It may be combined with other antihypertensive classes when a single agent is not enough. The treatment is generally taken without regard to meals, which may support adherence.

As part of a comprehensive plan, it can be paired with lifestyle measures such as sodium reduction and physical activity. Your clinician may recommend home blood pressure checks to gauge day-to-day trends.

Side Effects and Safety

Information on edarbi side effects can help you recognize common reactions early. Most effects are mild and often improve with continued use. Stop and seek medical help immediately for symptoms of a serious reaction.

• Dizziness or lightheadedness, especially when standing
• Diarrhea or stomach discomfort
• Tiredness or weakness
• Headache
• Back or muscle discomfort

Serious but uncommon risks include low blood pressure, kidney function changes, high potassium, or very rare angioedema. Call emergency services for swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat. Your clinician may monitor kidney function and electrolytes when appropriate. Learn risk signs of high potassium in our Hyperkalemia Signs article.

Drug Interactions and Cautions

Speak with your clinician or pharmacist before starting, stopping, or combining medicines. Interactions can change how this therapy works or increase side effects.

• Potassium supplements or potassium-sparing diuretics may increase potassium
• NSAIDs can reduce antihypertensive effect and impact kidney function
• Lithium levels may rise; monitoring is often required
• Aliskiren is not advised with diabetes; avoid the combination
• Dual RAAS blockade with an ACE inhibitor is generally discouraged

People with kidney or liver concerns may need closer observation. Discuss all prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, and herbal products. For kidney-related care context, see Kerendia and Kidneys. Beta-blocker resources are also available in our Bystolic Guide.

What to Expect Over Time

Blood pressure usually improves gradually with consistent daily use. Your clinician may review readings from home monitoring and adjust your plan if needed. Keep taking the medicine as directed, even when you feel well, because high blood pressure often has no symptoms.

Healthy eating, sodium reduction, weight management, and activity can support your treatment plan. Discuss heart health goals during routine visits. For broader cardiovascular awareness, read Heart Connection Day.

Compare With Alternatives

When a diuretic is appropriate, clinicians may consider the combination tablet Edarbyclor®, which includes a thiazide-like diuretic with the ARB. In patients who also need fluid management for edema, a loop diuretic such as Lasix® may be used for that separate indication under guidance.

Patient Suitability and Cost-Saving Tips

This medicine may suit adults with hypertension who need an ARB-based plan. It may not be appropriate for pregnancy or for people with certain kidney issues without careful monitoring. Share your full medication list and medical history with your clinician.

Consider longer supply fills to reduce per-fill fees when appropriate. Set calendar reminders for refills so you do not miss doses. If you are exploring discounts, you can ask about an edarbi coupon during checkout or review site offers. Multi-month options may help lower the number of pharmacy visits.
