  • Essential hypertension
View approved original text

Eprosartan is primarily used in the treatment of essential hypertension, but there are instances where the therapeutic effect is insufficient when used alone. In such cases, blood pressure control can be made more effective through combination therapy with other medications. It is important for patients to consult with their doctor to establish an optimal treatment plan. Therefore, eprosartan is used for the treatment of essential hypertension.

How to take

Adult dose

Once daily, 1 tablet administered in the morning.
