Why it's used

Arbitel-80 Tablet is used to treat high blood pressure. This medicine works by blocking the action of vasoconstrictor agent which are responsible for increasing the blood pressure, by selectively blocking the binding of angiotensin II to its binding site, angiotensin receptor. This medicine helps by reducing the increased blood pressure by exerting blocking actions on the angiotensin receptor. Arbitel-80 is also used to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, or fatalities associated with heart failure in patients who are 55 years in age or older, who are at high risk of developing major heart damage events unable to take ACE blockers and patients with high blood sugar level (type 2 diabetes mellitus) with target organ damage.
Arbitel-80 Tablet may also be used together with other medicines to treat certain conditions as recommended by the doctor. It is used in combination with Antiplatelet drugs, or lipid-lowering drugs to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, or fatalities associated with heart failure in patients who are 55 years in age or older, who are at high risk of developing major heart damage events unable to take ACE blockers. It is also used with hydorchlorthiazide, or other antihypertensives to treat high blood pressure.
Angiotensin 2 Receptor Blocker
Arbitel-80 is a prescription medicine that belongs to a class of medicines called Angiotensin 2 Receptor Blocker. Angiotensin II receptor blockers are used for the treatment of high blood pressure and heart failure. These medicines act by relaxing the blood vessels and makes it easier for your heart to pump blood.

Warnings

Patients with high blood sugar on treatment with insulin or agents that lower blood sugar level

The patients with high levels of sugar in blood who are on treatment with insulin or blood sugar lowering agents in combination with Arbitel-80 are at an increased risk to suffer from low blood sugar. Such patients should undergo regular monitoring of blood sugar levels and adjustment of the dose of insulin or antidiabetic agent may also be required.

Patients with a family history of absorbing fructose (fructose intolerance)

Arbitel-80 contains sorbitol, therefore patients who have a family history of fructose intolerance should not use Arbitel-80.

Different race

Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor antagonists such as Arbitel-80 are less effective in lowering the blood pressure in black people than in non-blacks due to the reason that black people have low-renin states.

Narrowing of large blood vessel and abnormal thickening of the heart muscles (aortic and mitral valve stenosis and obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy)

Special caution should be used in patients who are suffering from aortic or mitral stenosis, or obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Dual blockade of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system

Patients who are undergoing therapy with renin-angiotensin system blockers are at an increased risk to experience changes in the functioning of kidneys including kidney failure. These patients may suffer from dual blockade of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system by adding an ACE-inhibitor to an angiotensin II receptor blocker, and therefore, such patients should be closely monitored of the functioning of kidneys. Patients taking the combination of Arbitel-80 with ramipril did not obtain any extra advantage as compared to those who received monotherapy but experienced an increased incidence of kidney dysfunctioning compared with groups receiving Arbitel-80 alone or ramipril alone. Such patients should not use Arbitel-80 and ramipril in combination.

High blood pressure caused by the kidney response to narrowing of the arteries that supply the kidneys

The patients in whom narrowing of one of the arteries of kidneys (bilateral kidney artery stenosis or stenosis of the artery to a single functioning of kidneys) are at an increased risk of severe low blood pressure and kidney insufficiency who are being treated with medicines that affect the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system.

Patients with kidney failure and kidney transplantation

The use of Arbitel-80 in patients who have abnormal functioning of kidneys, frequent monitoring of potassium and creatinine levels in the blood is recommended. The information about the use of Arbitel-80 in patients with kidney transplantation is not available.

Reduction in volume of extracellular fluid (intravascular hypovolemia)

The patients after taking the first dose of Arbitel-80 may experience symptomatic reduced blood pressure who are volume and sodium depleted by therapy with diuretics, restriction of salt in diet, diarrhea, or vomiting. These conditions in such patients should be treated before starting the treatment with Arbitel-80. Volume and sodium loss should be corrected before giving Arbitel-80.

Excessive production of the hormone aldosterone from the adrenal glands (primary aldosteronism)

The patients who are on treatment with Arbitel-80 and who have primary aldosteronism are not responsive to treatment with medicinal products which act through blockade of the renin-angiotensin system. The use of Arbitel-80 in such patients is not recommended.

Pregnancy

Patients who become pregnant during the second and third trimesters while using this medicine are at an increased risk because the medicines acting on the renin-angiotensin system can result in harmful effects on the fetus as well as can result in the fatality of the unborn baby (fetus). Pregnant women who take Arbitel-80 may pose a risk of low blood pressure, skull hypoplasia, failure of the kidneys to produce urine (anuria), reversible or irreversible kidney failure, and can even result in fatalities in the fetus or an unborn child. There may also be a risk of deficiency of amniotic fluid (oligohydramnios) that may result from decreased functioning of kidneys of an unborn child; oligohydramnios has also been related to shortening of muscles of the unborn (fetal limb contractures), deformity in the growth of facial bones (craniofacial deformation), and underdevelopment of lungs. Other conditions reported are prematurity and a condition during which a baby does not grow to a healthy weight (intrauterine growth retardation). Such patients should discontinue the use of Arbitel-80 as soon as pregnancy is detected.

Low blood pressure

Patients who are on treatment with diuretics with an activated renin-angiotensin system are at an increased risk to experience symptomatic low blood pressure after the therapy with Arbitel-80 has been started. Such patients should be advised to correct this condition before the beginning of treatment with Arbitel-80 or start the treatment under closed monitoring with a low dose. If low blood pressure occurs, the patient should be made to lie down and, if necessary, should be given an intravenous infusion with normal saline.

High levels of potassium in the blood

Patients who are on treatment with angiotensin receptor blockers, particularly who have kidney dysfunctioning, heart failure, who are on kidney replacement therapy, or potassium supplements, potassium-containing salt substitutes, potassium-sparing diuretics, or other drugs that increase the levels of potassium are at an increased risk when using this medicine. In such patients, consideration of determination of blood levels of electrolytes should be done to detect the possible electrolyte imbalances, particularly in patients who are at risk.

Liver dysfunction

Patients who have biliary obstructive disorders or liver dysfunctioning are at an increased risk to have reduced clearance because major amounts of Arbitel-80 are cleared by biliary excretion. In such patients, the therapy with Arbitel-80 should be started at low doses and the dose should be increased slowly.

Kidney dysfunction

Patients with kidney dysfunction and heart problems and who are on treatment with angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers are at an increased risk when using Arbitel-80. The use of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) blockers and angiotensin receptor blockers in such patients have been related to decreased production of urine, abnormally high levels of nitrogen-containing compounds (azotemia), acute kidney failure, and fatalities. Studies with ACE inhibitors in patients suffering from narrowing of one of the arteries of kidneys (unilateral or bilateral kidney artery stenosis), increases in the level of creatinine in blood or blood urea nitrogen have been observed. In such patients, as a result of blockade of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, the changes in the functioning of kidneys in susceptible individuals should be predicted.

Interactions with Arbitel-80

When two or more medicines are taken together, it can change how the medicines work and increase the risk of side-effects. In medical terms, this is called as a Drug Interaction.
Your doctor's guidelines may need to be followed while taking this medicine along with potassium-sparing diuretics, which are used in combination with other drugs to treat high blood pressure. Arbitel-80 is responsible for reducing the diuretic induced loss of potassium. Potassium-sparing diuretics such as spirinolactone, eplerenone, triamterene, or amiloride, potassium supplements, or potassium-containing salt substitutes may result in an increase in potassium levels in the blood. The use of Arbitel-80 in combination with potassium-sparing diuretics should be done very cautiously and the levels of potassium in the blood should be monitored frequently.
Arbitel-80 Tablet interacts with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents along with selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors (COX-2 Inhibitors), which are used to relieve pain and inflammatory conditions. The elderly patients, volume-depleted (patients on diuretic therapy), or with altered functioning of kidneys, a combination of NSAIDs along with Arbitel-80 may result in abnormal functioning of kidneys including acute kidney failure. These effects are usually reversible. NSAIDs may reduce the blood pressure lowering effect of Arbitel-80. Monitoring of functioning of kidneys frequently in patients receiving Arbitel-80 and NSAID therapy is required.
There may be an interaction of Arbitel-80 with lithium, which is used for the treatment of depressive disorders. The use of Arbitel-80 in combination with lithium has resulted in high levels of lithium in the blood and therefore, has resulted in lithium poisoning. Monitoring of lithium levels in the blood should be considered during the use of these drugs together.
Arbitel-80 Tablet may interact with digoxin, which is used for the treatment of various heart problems. Arbitel-80 given in combination with digoxin has resulted in increased levels of digoxin in the blood. The levels of digoxin should be monitored while starting, adjusting, and stopping Arbitel-80 so that the levels of digoxin are within the range above which side-effects begin to occur.
Special instructions need to be followed while taking this medicine along with ramipril, which is used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure. When Arbitel-80 is given in combination with ramipril, the maximum amount of the drug in the blood (Cmax), as well as exposure of the drug to the body (AUC) of ramipril and its metabolite ramiprilat is increased. On the other hand, the amount of Arbitel-80 in the body is decreased. The increased efficiency of medicine may be observed due to the additive effects of ramipril and its metabolite ramiprilat along with Arbitel-80. The use of Arbitel-80 in combination with ramipril is not recommended.
Your doctor's guidelines may need to be followed while taking this medicine along with alcohol; barbiturates, which are used to treat anxiety disorders; narcotics, which are used to treat severe pain, and antidepressants, which are used to treat depressive states. The use of Arbitel-80 in combination with these drugs worsens orthostatic low blood pressure, which is the reduction in blood pressure while standing.
Arbitel-80 Tablet interacts with corticosteroids, injection route, which is used for relieving inflammatory conditions. When Arbitel-80 is used in combination with corticosteroids, the blood pressure lowering effect of Arbitel-80 is reduced.
Special instructions need to be followed while taking this medicine along with baclofen, which is used as a central nervous system depressant and amifostine, which is used to reduce side-effects of cancer treating drugs. The use of baclofen and amifostine in combination with Arbitel-80 and other blood pressure lowering agents may enhance the blood pressure lowering effect of Arbitel-80.
There may be an interaction of Arbitel-80 with other blood pressure lowering agents such as ACE-blockers, angiotensin II receptor blockers or aliskiren. When Arbitel-80 is used in combination with other blood pressure lowering agents, the blood pressure lowering effect of Arbitel-80 is enhanced.
Arbitel-80 Tablet may interact with diuretics such as thiazide, which increases the production of urine. The treatment with a high dose of diuretics such as furosemide and hydrochlorothiazide may result in depletion of volume and risk of low blood pressure when treatment with Arbitel-80 is started.
This page does not contain all the possible interactions of Arbitel-80 Tablet. Share a list of all medicines that you use with your doctor and pharmacist. Do not start, stop, or change the dose of any medicines without the approval of your doctor.

The use of Arbitel-80 is not recommended in patients who are allergic to Arbitel-80.

Use in pregnancy

The use of Arbitel-80 should not be considered in women who are at the second and third trimester of their pregnancy. The use of Arbitel-80 during the second and third trimesters has been associated with damaging effects on the unborn baby including, decreased functioning of kidneys, deficiency of amniotic fluid in pregnancy, problems in skull development and damaging effects on the newborns (kidney failure, low blood pressure, and high level of potassium in blood).

Blockade of duct carrying bile from the liver to the gallbladder (biliary obstructive disorders)

The use of Arbitel-80 should not be considered in patients who have biliary obstructive disorders. The use of Arbitel-80 is not recommended for patients with blockage in the flow of bile from the liver (cholestasis), biliary obstructive disorders or severe liver failure because Arbitel-80 is mostly excreted with the bile. Such patients are at a risk to develop reduced liver clearance for Arbitel-80. The use of Arbitel-80 should be done cautiously in patients with mild to moderate liver problems.

Liver damage

The use of Arbitel-80 should not be considered in patients with liver failure. The use of Arbitel-80 is not recommended for patients with blockage in the flow of bile from the liver (cholestasis), biliary obstructive disorders or severe liver failure because Arbitel-80 is mostly excreted with the bile. Such patients are at a risk to develop reduced liver clearance for Arbitel-80. The use of Arbitel-80 should be done cautiously in patients with mild to moderate liver problems.

Products containing aliskiren

The use of Arbitel-80 in combination with products containing aliskiren is not recommended in patients with high blood sugar or kidney failure.
