Description
Arbitel 80mg Tablets provide an effective solution for the management of essential hypertension (high blood pressure) in adults. Each pack contains 30 film-coated tablets, with each tablet delivering 80mg of Telmisartan, an active ingredient belonging to the class of medicines known as Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers (ARBs). This medication plays a crucial role in lowering blood pressure, thereby significantly reducing the risk of severe cardiovascular complications such as heart attack, stroke, and kidney damage.
Telmisartan works by specifically blocking the action of Angiotensin II, a powerful hormone in the body that causes blood vessels to constrict and blood pressure to rise. By preventing Angiotensin II from binding to its receptors, Arbitel 80mg allows blood vessels to relax and widen, leading to smoother blood flow and a decrease in blood pressure.
Beyond its primary use in hypertension, Arbitel 80mg is also indicated for cardiovascular risk reduction in adults aged 55 years or older who are at high risk due to existing conditions like established atherosclerotic thrombotic disease (e.g., a history of heart attack, stroke, or peripheral arterial disease) or type 2 diabetes with target organ damage. It can also help in preserving kidney function in patients with diabetes.
