Effectiveness
How Teveten Affects PatientsEprosartan blocks the action of angiotensin II, a hormone that causes blood vessels to constrict, increases the production of another hormone (aldosterone) and encourages the body to reabsorb sodium. By blocking this hormone, Eprosartan helps widen blood vessels, reduce the production of aldosterone, and lower blood pressure.
How Teveten works in the bodyEprosartan works by blocking the effects of angiotensin II, a hormone responsible for narrowing of blood vessels and increasing blood pressure. It does this by attaching to the AT1 receptor, which is found in blood vessels and the adrenal gland. This builds a barrier that prevents angiotensin II from attaching to the receptor. Eprosartan is 1,000 times more likely to attach to the AT1 receptor than the AT2 receptor. This helps to block angiotensin II from increasing blood pressure and causing other unwanted side effects. This is different from ACE inhibitors, which can cause a dry cough
