A member asked:
Which angiotensin receptor blockers are fda approved for treating hypertension in those under 18 years old?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I would look up the one you are taking at Drugs.com. Not seen any long term trials. Always try DASH eating plan before meds. Always suspect secondary cause at this age including using too small of a cuff for arm size.
