How It Works
Zilarta-CT 40 Tablet is a combination of Azilsartan medoxomil and Chlorthalidone, which work together to effectively lower blood pressure.
- Azilsartan medoxomil: This ARB blocks the action of the hormone angiotensin, helping to relax the blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily, and reducing the effort required by the heart.
- Chlorthalidone: As a diuretic, Chlorthalidone removes excess fluid and certain electrolytes from the body, which helps reduce blood pressure over time. It also has a mild effect in relaxing blood vessels, further improving circulation.
