This medicine works as an angiotensin II receptor antagonists and appear to have similar indications as the ACE inhibitors. While these drugs have been shown to be effective in treating hypertension, their efficacy in heart failure is being vigorously evaluated. The angiotensin II antagonists are especially useful in providing an alternative therapy in those patients who have intractable cough in response to ACE-inhibitor therapy. Similar to ACE inhibitors, pre-existing volume depletion caused by diuretic therapy may potentiate hypotension in response to angiotensin II antagonists.
