Fimasartan

Uses

Fimasartan is used in the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure), the prevention of heart attack and stroke, and heart failure.

How it Works

How Fimasartan works Fimasartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) that relaxes blood vessels by inhibiting the action of a chemical that typically constricts them. This action lowers blood pressure, allowing blood to flow more smoothly to various organs and enabling the heart to pump more efficiently.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Fimasartan include dizziness and headache.

Expert Advice

  • Take it at the same time every day to help you remember to take it.
  • It may cause dizziness during the first few days of use.
  • Rise slowly if you have been sitting or lying down for an extended period.
  • Your doctor may conduct regular tests to monitor the levels of urea, creatinine, and potassium in your blood.
  • Avoid taking anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen alongside this medicine without consulting your doctor.
  • Do not take Fimasartan if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • Do not stop taking it suddenly without discussing it with your doctor.

Frequently asked questions

Fimasartan should be taken orally as directed by your doctor, typically once a day, with plenty of water, with or without food. It's best to take it at the same time each day.
Fimasartan should not be taken by individuals who are allergic to it, pregnant, or those with diabetes or impaired kidney function who are treated with aliskiren.
Both Fimasartan and telmisartan effectively lower blood pressure. Fimasartan, being a newer medication, is considered to have comparable efficacy to telmisartan and may have fewer side effects.
An overdose of Fimasartan may lead to decreased blood pressure, causing dizziness or fainting. Seek immediate medical attention if an overdose is suspected.
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it's near the time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your regular schedule. Do not double the dose to compensate for the missed one.
Fimasartan is classified as an angiotensin II receptor antagonist (AIIRA), which blocks the action of angiotensin II, a substance that constricts blood vessels and raises blood pressure, thereby helping to relax blood vessels and lower blood pressure.
Fimasartan may take about 2 weeks to show a noticeable reduction in blood pressure, with full benefits potentially taking up to 4 weeks.
No, do not stop taking Fimasartan without consulting your doctor, even if you feel well. Sudden discontinuation may raise your blood pressure and increase the risk of stroke.
Fimasartan can harm or be fatal to an unborn baby. If you are planning to become pregnant or are pregnant, consult your doctor immediately for alternative treatments.
To maximize the benefits of Fimasartan, reduce salt intake, manage stress through activities like yoga or meditation, ensure adequate sleep, avoid smoking and alcohol, exercise regularly, and maintain a balanced diet rich in whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. Consult your doctor for personalized guidance.
