Key Benefits of Sartel 40 Tablet:

• Lowers High Blood Pressure: Sartel 40 helps in controlling hypertension by relaxing blood vessels, improving blood flow, and reducing the workload on the heart.
• Prevention of Heart Attack and Stroke: By lowering blood pressure, it helps reduce the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular complications.
• Heart Failure Management: Sartel 40 is also used to manage heart failure, supporting the heart’s ability to pump blood efficiently.
• Kidney Protection in Diabetic Patients: Sartel 40 has been shown to preserve kidney function, especially in diabetic patients, who are at higher risk of kidney damage due to high blood pressure.

How Sartel 40 Tablet Works:

• Sartel 40 contains Telmisartan, which is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB). It works by blocking the action of a hormone (angiotensin II) that causes blood vessels to tighten. By blocking this action, Sartel 40 relaxes and widens blood vessels, which lowers blood pressure and reduces the strain on the heart.

Dosage and Administration:

• How to Take: Take Sartel 40 Tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor. It can be taken with or without food.
• Timing: For best results, try to take it at the same time each day.
• Form: The tablet should be swallowed whole—do not chew, crush, or break it.
• Frequency: Continue the medication even if you feel well, as blood pressure often has no symptoms.
