FAQs for Patients and Caregivers
Arbli is a prescription medicine called an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB). It is used:
- alone or with other blood pressure medicines to lower high blood pressure (hypertension).
- to lower the chance of stroke in patients with high blood pressure and a heart problem called left ventricular hypertrophy. Arbli may not help Black patients with this problem.
- to slow the worsening of diabetic kidney disease (nephropathy) in patients with type 2 diabetes who have or had high blood pressure.
Arbli has not been studied in children less than 6 years old or in children with certain kidney problems.¹
Arbli can cause harm or death to an unborn baby. Talk to your doctor about other ways to lower your blood pressure if you plan to become pregnant. If you get pregnant while taking Arbli, tell your doctor right away.1
Tell your doctor about all of your medical conditions including if you:
- are pregnant or planning to become pregnant.
