Angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) work by blocking the angiotensin II type 1 receptor and include candersartan, olmesartan, telmisartan, eprosartan, and irbesartan. ARBs are more selective than ACE inhibitors and don't cause dry cough as they don't affect bradykinin metabolism. ARBs have been shown to significantly reduce the progression of nephropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and kidney disease. Potential side effects include hyperkalemia, renal insufficiency, and orthostatic hypotension.

2.  Simply they are called ARB’s, they work by
blocking Angiotensin II type 1 (AT1)
 Some of the Members of Angiotensin
Receptors Blockers include the Following
 Mnemonic “CommOn Terminologies In India”

3.  Whereby
 C-Candersatan
 O-Olmersartan
 T- Telmisartan
 E- Eprosartan
 I- Irbesartan

4.  Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (ARB’s) are
more selective than ACE Inhibitors since
they since they don’t affect bradykinin
metabolism hence they don’t produce dry
cough as in Patient who use ACE Inhibitors

5.  In Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and
Nephropathy ,ARB has been shown to
significantly reduce the progression of
Nephropathy

6.  Hyperkalemia
 Renal Insufficiency
 Orthostatic Hypotension
NB: ARB’s as ACE shouldn’t be used in
Pregnacy

7.  Candersartan 8- 32 mg/d
 Olmersartan 20-40 mg/d
 Telmisartan 20- 80 mg/d
 Eprosartan 600-800 mg/d
 Irbesartan 150-300 mg/d
