Frequently asked Questions about Missile

Question about 5 years ago

How does Missile work

Dr. Gaurav MBBS , General Physician

Missile 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 Missile decreases the blood pressure.
