About XARB 300MG TABLET

XARB 300MG TABLET belongs to a group of medicines known as angiotensin II receptor blockers indicated for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) in adults. Additionally, XARB 300MG TABLET is used to reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke in adults. Hypertension is a medical condition in which the blood pressure is elevated persistently in the arteries without any known cause. On the other hand, heart attack or stroke occurs due to blocked blood flow to the heart or brain, respectively.

XARB 300MG TABLET works by blocking the action of a hormone called angiotensin II in the body that causes the narrowing of blood vessels leading to high blood pressure. Thereby, XARB 300MG TABLET widens and relaxes blood vessels. Thus, lowers high blood pressure.

You can take XARB 300MG TABLET irrespective of food and swallow it whole with a glass of water. Do not crush, chew, or break it. Your doctor will let you how often you should take your tablets based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and orthostatic hypotension. Most of these side effects of XARB 300MG TABLET do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist, please consult your doctor.

It is not known whether XARB 300MG TABLET passes into your breast milk or not. Your doctor will decide if you will take XARB 300MG TABLET while using XARB 300MG TABLET and breastfeeding together. Prolonged intake of XARB 300MG TABLET may cause high potassium in the blood (hyperkalemia). Avoid intake of potassium supplements with XARB 300MG TABLET as it may lead to high potassium levels in the blood, so the doctor may ask you to have a regular check of your potassium level. Do not consume alcohol with XARB 300MG TABLET as it may increase the risk of low blood pressure. Taking XARB 300MG TABLET with painkillers (like aspirin and ibuprofen) can increase the risk of kidney problems and reduced the efficiency of XARB 300MG TABLET.
