Uses
Ксартен is an angiotensin-receptor blocker indicated in the treatment of hypertension.
Ксартен is also used to associated treatment for these conditions: High Blood Pressure (Hypertension), NYHA Functional Class II-IV Heart Failure
Food Interaction
[Moderate] GENERALLY AVOID: Moderate-to-high dietary intake of potassium, especially salt substitutes, may increase the risk of hyperkalemia in some patients who are using angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs).
ARBs can promote hyperkalemia through inhibition of angiotensin II-induced aldosterone secretion.
Patients with diabetes, heart failure, dehydration, or renal insufficiency have a greater risk of developing hyperkalemia.
MANAGEMENT: Patients should receive dietary counseling and be advised to not use potassium-containing salt substitutes or over-the-counter potassium supplements without consulting their physician.
If salt substitutes are used concurrently, regular monitoring of serum potassium levels is recommended.
Patients should also be advised to seek medical attention if they experience symptoms of hyperkalemia such as weakness, irregular heartbeat, confusion, tingling of the extremities, or feelings of heaviness in the legs.
