CORTEL 20 TABLETS

Description

 Medical Uses

1. Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): Cortel 20 Tablet helps lower elevated blood pressure levels, thereby reducing the risk of complications like kidney damage, heart disease, and stroke.

2. Heart Failure: It assists in managing heart failure by relaxing blood vessels, reducing blood pressure, and easing the strain on the heart, which improves blood flow and reduces symptoms like swelling and shortness of breath.

3. Prevention of Heart Attack and Stroke: By managing high blood pressure and reducing strain on the heart, Cortel 20 Tablet helps prevent heart attacks and strokes, especially in individuals with additional risk factors like diabetes.

 How It Works

Cortel 20 Tablet functions by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a hormone that causes blood vessels to constrict. By inhibiting this hormone, the medication relaxes and widens blood vessels, leading to lowered blood pressure and improved blood flow.
