Question almost 6 years ago

How does Ozotel work

Dr. Gaurav MBBS , General Physician

Ozotel 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 Ozotel decreases the blood pressure.
