37 Million Patients Do Not Have Their Blood Pressure Under Control1
Up to 54% of patients with hypertension are uncontrolled1,2
More than two-thirds of hypertensive individuals will require 2 or more antihypertensive drugs to achieve effective blood pressure control3

Hypertension and Cardiovascular Outcomes
Epidemiological studies have shown that elevations in BP are associated with an increased risk of CV events
Absolute risk increases progressively with increasing BP
Lowering blood pressure reduces the risk of fatal and nonfatal CV events, primarily strokes and myocardial infarctions
Control of high BP should be part of comprehensive CV risk management, including, as appropriate, lipid control, diabetes management, antithrombotic therapy, smoking cessation, exercise and limited sodium intake
There are no controlled trials demonstrating risk reduction with EDARBI

Study Design: A meta-analysis of 1 million adults from 61 prospective observational studies of blood pressure and mortality was performed.2 Total observational period included 12.7 million person-years. Patients had no previous vascular disease recorded at baseline. Outcomes included 56,000 vascular deaths and 66,000 other deaths at ages 40 to 89 years.2

Study Design: SBP and mortality was analyzed in 5 large population follow-up studies, the Multiple Risk Factor Intervention Trial, the Whitehall Civil Servants study, the Western Electric study, the Framingham Heart study, and the Chicago Heart Association Detection Project in Industry. Follow-up lasted from 6 to 19 years and The multivariate coefficients for the 5 studies were similar and averaged.2

When pregnancy is detected, discontinue EDARBI as soon as possible. Drugs that act directly on the renin-angiotensin system can cause injury and death to the developing fetus. See WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS in

EDARBI Key Points
EDARBI 80 mg was statistically superior to Diovan® 320 mg and Benicar® 40 mg in reducing 24-hour mean ambulatory and clinic systolic blood pressure (SBP) in head-to-head studies
EDARBI 80 mg sustained significant SBP reductions across the 24-hour dosing interval
Treatment with EDARBI was well tolerated, and the most common adverse reaction occurring more frequently with EDARBI than placebo in adults was diarrhea (2% vs. 0.5%)

EDARBI Key Points (cont.)
Additional reduction in 24-hour mean ambulatory SBP with EDARBI 80 mg when co-administered with:
– Chlorthalidone (CLD) 25 mg compared with CLD 25 mg alone
– Amlodipine (AML) 5 mg compared with AML 5 mg alone
Small reversible increases in serum creatinine are seen in patients receiving 80 mg of EDARBI. The increase may be larger when co-administered with chlorthalidone or hydrochlorothiazide and was more likely in patients who had moderate to severe renal impairment at baseline or >75 years of age

EDARBI Dosage and Administration
The recommended dose in adults is 80 mg taken orally once daily. Consider a starting dose of 40 mg for patients who are treated with high doses of diuretics
Volume and/or salt depletion should be corrected prior to administering EDARBI
May be taken with or without food EDARBI may be administered with other antihypertensive agents No dose adjustment is necessary in elderly patients, patients with miId-to-
severe renal impairment, end-stage renal disease, or mild-to-moderate hepatic dysfunction
Patients taking EDARBI who had moderate to severe renal impairment or who were >75 years of age were more likely to report serum creatinine increases
Has not been studied in patients with severe hepatic impairment
Recommended Dose 80 mg once daily

TAK-OEC
Indication and Usage
EDARBI is an angiotensin II receptor blocker indicated for the treatment of hypertension in adults to lower blood pressure. Lowering blood pressure reduces the risk of fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events, primarily strokes and myocardial infarctions. There are no controlled trials demonstrating risk reduction with EDARBI, but at least one pharmacologically similar drug has demonstrated such benefits.
Control of high blood pressure should be part of comprehensive cardiovascular risk management, including, as appropriate, lipid control, diabetes management, antithrombotic therapy, smoking cessation, exercise, and limited sodium intake. Many patients will require more than one drug to achieve blood pressure goals. EDARBI may be used either alone or in combination with other antihypertensive agents.

TAK-OEC
Important Safety Information
Avoid Fetal or Neonatal Exposure: Drugs that act directly on the renin‐angiotensin system can cause fetal and neonatal morbidity and death when administered to pregnant women during the second and third trimester. Nursing mothers should discontinue either nursing or EDARBI.
Correct volume or salt depletion prior to administration of EDARBI: In patients with an activated renin‐angiotensin system, such as volume‐ and/or salt‐depleted patients (e.g., those being treated with high doses of diuretics), symptomatic hypotension may occur after initiation of treatment with EDARBI.
Please see Takeda representative for complete Prescribing Information.
WARNING: AVOID USE IN PREGNANCY
When pregnancy is detected, discontinue EDARBI as soon as possible. Drugs that act directly on the renin-angiotensin system
can cause injury and death to the developing fetus. See WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS in complete Prescribing
Information.

TAK-OEC
Monitor for worsening renal function in patients with renal impairment: In patients whose renal function may depend on the activity of the renin‐angiotensin system, treatment with ACE inhibitors and ARBs has been associated with oliguria or progressive azotemia and rarely with acute renal failure and death. Similar results may be anticipated in patients treated with EDARBI. In studies of ACE inhibitors in patients with unilateral or bilateral renal artery stenosis, increases in serum creatinine or blood urea nitrogen have been reported. There has been no long‐term use of EDARBI in these patients but similar results may be expected.

Drug Interactions: Monitor renal function periodically in patients receiving EDARBI and NSAIDs who are also elderly, volume‐depleted (including those on diuretics), or who have compromised renal function due to potential reversible deterioration of renal function.
Adverse Reactions: The most common adverse reaction that occurred more frequently with EDARBI than placebo in adults was diarrhea (2% vs. 0.5%).

EDARBI Key Points
EDARBI 80 mg was statistically superior to Diovan® 320 mg and Benicar® 40 mg in reducing 24-hour mean ambulatory and clinic systolic blood pressure (SBP) in head-to-head studies
EDARBI 80 mg sustained significant SBP reductions across the 24-hour dosing interval
Treatment with EDARBI was well tolerated, and the most common adverse reaction occurring more frequently with EDARBI than placebo in adults was diarrhea (2% vs. 0.5%)

EDARBI Key Points (cont.)
Additional reduction in 24-hour mean ambulatory SBP with EDARBI 80 mg when co-administered with:
– CLD 25 mg compared with CLD 25 mg alone
– AML 5 mg compared with AML 5 mg alone
Small reversible increases in serum creatinine are seen in patients receiving 80 mg of EDARBI. The increase may be larger when co-administered with chlorthalidone or hydrochlorothiazide and was more likely in patients who had moderate to severe renal impairment at baseline or >75 years of age
