About Ezisartan RM 40mg/5mg Tablet

Ezisartan RM 40mg/5mg Tablet belongs to a group of medications called ‘antihypertensives’ used in the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure). High blood pressure is a chronic (long-term) condition in which blood pressure is elevated persistently in higher than normal levels. If left untreated, this condition can increase the risk of heart-related diseases like heart attack, heart failure, stroke, irregular heartbeat, and other complications.

Ezisartan RM 40mg/5mg Tablet contains Telmisartan and Ramipril. Telmisartan is an angiotensin-II receptor blocker (ARB). Angiotensin narrows the blood vessels increasing the blood pressure, therefore blocking angiotensin can result in the widening of the narrowed blood vessels. Ramipril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor and works by lowering the body’s production of substances (angiotensin) that could increase blood pressure. Together, Ezisartan RM 40mg/5mg Tablet allows the blood to flow more smoothly in the blood vessels.

Take Ezisartan RM 40mg/5mg Tablet exactly as prescribed. Ezisartan RM 40mg/5mg Tablet may cause side effects such as sinus pain and congestion, back pain, dizziness, hypotension (abnormally low blood pressure), especially when you stand or sit up quickly, dry cough, weakness, stomach pain, diarrhea, indigestion, feeling or being sick, skin rash, chest pain, muscle cramps and hyperkalemia (increased potassium levels in the blood). Inform your doctor immediately, if any of these side effects persist or get worse.

Before taking Ezisartan RM 40mg/5mg Tablet, inform your doctor if you have any liver, kidney or heart problems, angioedema (serious allergic reaction), renal artery stenosis (a kidney problem in which blood supply to the kidney is reduced), severe hypotension (abnormally low blood pressure), atherosclerosis (obstruction of blood flow due to presence of clots) and diabetic kidney disease. It is also not recommended for use in children, and pregnant and breastfeeding women. The dose may have to be adjusted in elderly people. It is not advised to consume alcohol as it can increase dizziness.
