About the Product
Tazloc 40 Tablet is a prescription medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and heart failure. By effectively lowering blood pressure, it reduces the risk of serious cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks and strokes. Additionally, Tazloc 40 Tablet helps preserve kidney function, particularly in patients with diabetes.
Tazloc 40 Tablet can be taken alone or in combination with other medications as prescribed by your doctor. It can be taken with or without food, but it’s best to take it at the same time each day for consistent results. Even if your blood pressure is well-controlled or you feel fine, it’s important to continue taking the medicine as directed. Stopping the medication abruptly can lead to a worsening of your condition.
In addition to taking this medication, lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, smoking cessation, reducing alcohol intake, and lowering salt consumption can further help manage blood pressure.
Tazloc 40 Tablet is generally well-tolerated with few side effects. However, some individuals may experience hypotension (low blood pressure). It’s important to report any side effects to your doctor, who can adjust the dosage or suggest an alternative treatment if necessary.

How It Works
Tazloc 40 Tablet is an Angiotensin Receptor Blocker (ARB). It works by blocking the action of a hormone called angiotensin II, which usually causes blood vessels to constrict. By blocking this action, Telmisartan relaxes the blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily and reducing blood pressure. This also reduces the workload on the heart, helping it pump blood more efficiently.
