8 Use in Specific Populations

8.4 Pediatric Use

(Additions and/or revisions underlined)

Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been established. Use of Edarbi is not recommended in children less than 2 years of age. It is not known whether post-natal use of azilsartan in patients less than 2 years of age, before maturation of kidney function is complete, has a long-term deleterious effect on the kidney.

Juvenile Animal Studies

In juvenile rat studies, dosing with azilsartan starting on post-natal day 14 (equivalent to a neonate with morphologically and functionally immature kidneys) resulted in increased incidence of edema of the renal papilla at the end of 4-week recovery period that was non-reversible. These findings occurred in the high-dose group (10 mg/kg) and were not observed in juvenile rats dosed starting on post-natal day 21 (equivalent to a human approximately 2 years of age) or adult rats.
