Table of contents:

Teveten is a medication used to treat high blood pressure, also known as hypertension. The active ingredient in Teveten is eprosartan, which is used to lower blood pressure in patients with hypertension. Eprosartan belongs to a class of medications called angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs).

Teveten works by blocking the action of a substance called angiotensin II, which can cause blood vessels to constrict and raise blood pressure. By blocking this substance, Teveten helps to relax blood vessels and lower blood pressure. This can help reduce the risk of strokes and heart attacks in people with high blood pressure.

Use and Dosage

Teveten comes as a tablet to be taken by mouth, usually one or two times a day, or as instructed by your doctor. It can be taken with or without food. Swallow Teveten tablets with a full glass of water or another liquid. Using Teveten regularly can help you get the most out of the medication. To help you remember, take it at the same time each day.

The dosage of Teveten is based on your medical condition and how you respond to treatment. It may take about 2 to 3 weeks to feel the full benefit of the drug when it is used to treat high blood pressure. The recommended starting dose of Teveten (eprosartan) is 600 mg once daily for hypertension. The maximum daily dose should not exceed 600 mg in patients with renal impairment.

Keep taking Teveten even if you feel well. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible and continue with your regular schedule. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. Do not take 2 doses within 6 hours of each other. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
