In heart failure it reduces hospitalisations and strain on the weakened heart. A dependable daily cornerstone for people managing hypertension and protecting long-term heart and kidney health.

Attend regular blood pressure, kidney function and potassium checks.
Do not use in pregnancy. ARBs can seriously harm an unborn baby; tell your doctor immediately if you become pregnant, or while breastfeeding except on medical advice. Caution with kidney artery narrowing, severe kidney or liver impairment, and volume depletion (dizziness on starting).
