Edarbi (Azilsartan Medoxomil) Information

Edarbi, which contains the active ingredient azilsartan medoxomil, is an Angiotensin II Receptor Blocker (ARB). It is primarily indicated for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure), used either alone or in combination with other antihypertensive agents. Azilsartan medoxomil is an orally administered prodrug that is rapidly and completely converted to the active drug, azilsartan, during gastrointestinal absorption. It is structurally similar to other ARBs and is recognized for providing potent and sustained blood pressure lowering. Its dosing is typically once daily.

The mechanism of action for azilsartan involves blocking the potent vasoconstrictor hormone Angiotensin II. Angiotensin II causes narrowing of blood vessels (vasoconstriction) and stimulates the release of aldosterone, which causes the body to retain sodium and water. Azilsartan works by selectively blocking the binding of Angiotensin II to the AT1 receptor found in vascular smooth muscle, the kidney, and the adrenal glands. By blocking this receptor, azilsartan counteracts Angiotensin II's effects: it promotes vasodilation (widening of blood vessels), thereby reducing systemic vascular resistance, and inhibits aldosterone secretion, promoting the excretion of sodium and water. These combined actions result in a sustained and effective reduction in blood pressure. Unlike ACE inhibitors, azilsartan has a very low incidence of cough.
