Description

What is Teveten prescribed for?

Teveten is used to treat high blood pressure, which is also known as hypertension. If someone has high blood pressure, it means that their heart is working harder than it should to pump blood around the body. If this continues for a long time, the heart and arteries may not function properly. This could result in damaged blood vessels of the brain, heart, and kidneys which could result in a stroke, heart failure, or kidney failure. This drug is often used as part of combination therapy to treat high blood pressure.

This medicine is also sometimes given to help treat heart failure or diabetic nephropathy (kidney disease in people with diabetes).

 

How does Teveten work?

Teveten is an oral tablet containing the active ingredient Eprosartan, and it belongs to a class of drugs known as angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs). It works by stopping blood vessels from narrowing, which improves blood flow and lowers blood pressure. It also allows your kidney to get rid of excess water and salt, which helps lower your blood pressure.

Before taking Teveten or the Eprosartan generic, read all the instructions and paper work that given to you by your pharmacist. Make sure you take it at the same time each day to create a routine for yourself and to ensure an even spread of the Eprosartan dosage in your system. This medication should be taken on a regular basis to have optimal results. The Teveten dosage that you take will depend on your condition and your age. Take this medication exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not change or increase your dose. You should continue taking this medication even if you feel well.
