Ahmedabad: Zydus Lifesciences Limited has received tentative approval from the United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) to market Azilsartan Medoxomil Tablets, 40 mg and 80 mg (USRLD: Edarbi tablets).
Azilsartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) indicated for the treatment of hypertension to lower blood pressure. Lowering blood pressure reduces the risk of fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events, primarily strokes and myocardial infarctions. Azilsartan medoxomil tablets may be used either alone or in combination with other antihypertensive agents.
