Treatment

High blood pressure is a condition that affects 1 in 3 Americans. Blood pressure that is uncontrolled may lead to serious health problems.

Your goal should be to reach and maintain the blood pressure number your doctor has set for you.

Medication

Prescription blood pressure medication is an important part of the treatment for high blood pressure. In fact, you may need more than one high blood pressure medication to help lower blood pressure. This is common. Doctors might also add different types of blood pressure medications depending on individual treatment needs.

EDARBI is a type of prescription medicine called an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) used to treat high blood pressure in adults. It works by helping blood vessels relax, which lowers your blood pressure.

EDARBYCLOR is a prescription medicine that contains two medicines in one tablet that work to treat high blood pressure in adults. One component, EDARBI helps your blood vessels relax while the other component, the diuretic (water pill) works in the kidney to flush excess water and salt or sodium from the body. Together these medicines work to help lower blood pressure.

Talk to your doctor to see how EDARBI or EDARBYCLOR can work with other medications you may be taking.

Lifestyle Changes

It takes more than a high blood pressure medication to lower blood pressure. According to the American Heart Association, healthy lifestyle changes also need to be made. iPlan can help you make the following lifestyle changes:

  • Healthy Eating
  • Weight Loss
  • Physical Activity
  • Stress Reduction

Now that you know the importance of healthy lifestyle changes, where do you want to start? With iPlan, the choice is yours.

Use of EDARBI and EDARBYCLOR

EDARBI and EDARBYCLOR are prescription medicines used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Your doctor may prescribe other medicines for you to take along with EDARBI or EDARBYCLOR to treat your high blood pressure. EDARBYCLOR is used when one medicine is not enough or as the first medicine if your doctor decides you are likely to need more than one medicine. Medicines that lower your blood pressure may lower your chances of having a stroke or heart attack, but they don’t work alone. It should be part of a complete treatment plan.
