A member asked:
Which is better for hypertension termisartan or irbesartan(approvel)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
My choice: Is olmesartan (benicar) or the newer Edarbi (azilsartan): all of these 4 meds are "arb's" = angiotensin receptor blockers which as a class i much prefer over the similar ace i's (angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors). Hrs, md www.Thepmc.Org.
