Eprosartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) primarily used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). It works by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a hormone that causes blood vessels to constrict, leading to increased blood pressure. Eprosartan helps relax and widen blood vessels, thereby lowering blood pressure. It belongs to the class of antihypertensive drugs.
For treating hypertension (high blood pressure).
Outcome:
Increased risk of hyperkalemia
Mechanism:
Eprosartan can increase potassium levels, and potassium supplements can further elevate these levels.
Outcome:
Additive hypotensive effect
Mechanism:
Both drugs lower blood pressure, which can lead to excessive drops in blood pressure.
Outcome:
May slightly delay absorption
Mechanism:
Food can slow down the absorption of eprosartan, but the overall effect is minimal.
Most likely new formulation: Combination therapy with a thiazide diuretic (Year: 2025, 30% confidence)
Based on current usage trends and clinical trial data, there is a low likelihood of any major regulatory changes for eprosartan in the next 2 years (<5% probability).
