Azilsartan is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist for the treatment of hypertension and was developed by Takeda. Azilsartan Medoxomil lowers blood pressure by blocking the effects of angiotensin II, a type of vasopressin.
Azilsartan mepixetil is a potent angiotensin II receptor antagonist with enhanced efficacy and prolonged duration of action. It exhibits more prominent and sustained effects in lowering blood pressure and heart rate, while maintaining a high level of safety. Furthermore, Azilsartan mepixetil demonstrates optimal protective efficacy for cardiovascular and renal functions. Hence, it holds promise for the research and treatment of hypertension, chronic heart failure, and diabetic nephropathy.
