An Introduction to Dosing With Teveten
The dose of
Teveten® (
eprosartan mesylate) your healthcare provider recommends will vary, depending on a number of factors, including:
- Your blood pressure
- How you respond to the medication
- Other medications you are taking
- Other medical conditions you may have.
As is always the case, do not adjust your dosage unless your healthcare provider specifically tells you to do so.
Teveten Dosage for High Blood Pressure
The usual dose of Teveten for most people when starting to
treat high blood pressure is 600 mg once daily. Your healthcare may adjust this amount, if necessary. The typical recommended range is between 400 mg and 800 mg total per day.
Teveten is normally given once a day in the beginning of treatment. If, however, once-daily dosing does not control blood pressure over the entire course of the day, the medication may be given twice daily.
