Teveten (Eprosartan Mesylate) and/or alternatives

General Information on Teveten

Teveten is used for controlling high blood pressure. Its generic name is Eprosartan, and it falls under the category of angiotensin II receptor antagonists. You can buy Teveten in the form of oral tablets. Angiotensin II is an enzyme which attaches itself to blood vessel walls, causing them to compress and raising blood pressure. Teveten works by dilating these blood vessels so that blood can flow through them more easily. This drug can be used alone or in conjunction with other drugs to treat your condition. You should remember that this drug can only control high blood pressure, not cure it. This means that your blood pressure will stay under control as long as you are using the medicine. Once you stop taking the tablets, your blood pressure will come back to its normal levels.

Side Effects for Teveten

Some common side effects associated with Teveten include tiredness, a stuffy or runny nose, throat soreness, cough, joint pain, diarrhea, nausea, stomach pain, headache, and dizziness. Most of these side effects can be easily managed and they will diminish on their own as your body gets used to the medicine. However, you need to get serious if you experience serious side effects of the drug. These include swelling of the feet or hands, chest pain, and difficult or painful urination. In some cases, Teveten can also break down skeletal muscle tissue, which may lead to kidney failure. You should look out for symptoms such as muscle pain, weakness, dark colored urine, tenderness, nausea, and fever.

Precautions

Before you buy Teveten, you should inform your doctor if you are suffering from a kidney or liver disease or congestive heart failure, or if you are already dehydrated. You should also tell him/her if you have high potassium levels in your blood. In order to minimize lightheadedness or dizziness caused by this medicine, you should rise slowly from a lying or sitting position. As this drug makes you dizzy, you should not drive a vehicle, use a machine, or do any such activity that requires complete alertness. This drug is not meant to be used by pregnant women, as it may cause harm to the unborn child. Breastfeeding mothers should also use Teveten with caution, as its safety during such condition is not yet known.

Teveten Dosage

You may be given Teveten 300mg once or twice a day, depending on your medical condition and response to treatment. You will have to take the tablets regularly at almost the same time each day. You will notice the results in 2-3 weeks of starting the treatment. Continue taking the pills even if you feel perfectly well, because stopping the medicine will raise your blood pressure again.

Interactions

You should inform your doctor if you are taking any drugs that contain lithium or potassium. Avoid taking water pills or diuretics like triamterene and amiloride. As Teveten causes dizziness, you should not take any other drug that causes the same effect. These include sedatives, narcotic pain relievers, tranquilizers, antidepressants, anti-anxiety medicines, anti-seizure medications, and sleeping pills. Also, do not take NSAIDs with Teveten, as they may interact with each other.
