About ABEL 20MG TABLET

AZILSARTAN MEDOXOMIL belongs to a group of medications called 'anti-hypertensives' primarily used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). High blood pressure is a chronic (long-term) condition in which blood pressure is elevated persistently in higher than normal levels. If left untreated, this condition can increase the risk of heart-related diseases like heart attack, heart failure, stroke, irregular heartbeat, and leads to other complications.

This effect allows the blood to flow more smoothly in the blood vessels.
