How does Axeten H work

Dr. Gaurav MBBS , General Physician

Axeten H contains telmisartan which is an antihypertensive drug that works by preventing a chemical (angiotensin II) to bind with a receptor. This causes relaxation of blood vessels, it also prevents the synthesis and release of aldosterone (a hormone whose hyperactivity results in high blood pressure). In this way Axeten H decreases the blood pressure.
