Diarrhea and angiotensin II receptor blockers: Is there any difference between the different drugs?

Diarrhea is an adverse drug reaction (ADR) widely reported with olmesartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). Isolated case reports described this ADR with other ARBs. The present study was performed to investigate if, among the different ARBs, some drugs are more at risk of diarrhea than others.

Diarrhoea with the angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor sacubitril + valsartan: A pharmacovigilance study.

Diarrhoea is an adverse drug reaction of the angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI) sacubitril + valsartan. It was also described with olmesartan and more recently with other angiotensin receptor blockers. The study was performed to compare diarrhoea reports in pharmacovigilance databases with sacubitril + valsartan and valsartan.
