ARBITEL-20 – TAB

Description

Arbitel 20 Tablet is manufactured by Micro Labs Ltd and is commonly prescribed to adults for:

• Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): By lowering blood pressure, it helps prevent complications such as heart disease, kidney damage, and stroke.

• Heart Failure: It aids in improving blood flow and reducing the heart’s workload, alleviating symptoms like fatigue and breathlessness.

• Prevention of Heart Attack and Stroke: By managing high blood pressure, it reduces the strain on the heart and minimizes the risk of plaque rupture and blood clots.

The active ingredient, Telmisartan, is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that relaxes blood vessels by blocking the effects of angiotensin II, a hormone that causes blood vessels to constrict. This mechanism allows for smoother blood flow and more efficient heart function.
