1.
WHAT EPROSARTAN NICHE IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Eprosartan Niche contains the active substance eprosartan.
Eprosartan belongs to a group of medicines called ‘angiotensin II
receptor antagonists’. It blocks the action
of a substance in your body called ‘angiotensin II’. This
substance causes your blood vessels to narrow.
This makes it more difficult for the blood to flow through the vessels
and so your blood pressure increases.
By blocking this substance, the vessels relax and your blood pressure
decreases.
Eprosartan is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension).
