Question over 5 years ago

How does Telzox work

Dr. Gaurav MBBS , General Physician

Telzox 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 Telzox decreases the blood pressure.
