TZIL 80 10 S

About

TZIL 80 contains Telmisartan, a highly selective angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) specifically designed for the effective management of essential hypertension. Telmisartan operates by selectively binding to and blocking the AT1 receptor, thereby preventing angiotensin II, a potent vasoconstrictor and a key component of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), from exerting its effects. This blockade leads to the relaxation and widening of blood vessels, resulting in a significant reduction in blood pressure. Its prolonged duration of action ensures sustained 24-hour blood pressure control, which is crucial for preventing morning surges in blood pressure. By consistently lowering blood pressure, Telmisartan plays a vital role in reducing the long-term risk of serious cardiovascular events such as strokes, myocardial infarctions, and kidney disease, particularly in high-risk patient populations.
