Key Benefits:
- Reduces High Blood Pressure: Zilarta helps lower blood pressure, reducing the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular complications.

How Zilarta Works:
Zilarta 40 Tablet contains Azilsartan medoxomil, which is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB). ARBs work by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a hormone that normally causes blood vessels to constrict (tighten). By relaxing the blood vessels, Azilsartan medoxomil lowers blood pressure and makes it easier for the heart to pump blood, while also improving kidney function in some patients.
