How Azutan Ct 40/12.5 MG Tablet 15 Works?

Azutan Ct 40/12.5 MG Tablet 15 contains two active ingredients that work together to manage high blood pressure:

Azilsartan Medoxomil (40 mg): This ingredient is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). It works by blocking a hormone called angiotensin II, which usually causes blood vessels to tighten. By blocking this hormone, azilsartan helps widen and relax the blood vessels, making it easier for blood to flow through them. This action effectively decreases the pressure within the blood vessels.
Chlorthalidone (12.5 mg): This ingredient is a thiazide-like diuretic. It works by increasing the removal of water and electrolytes, specifically sodium and chloride, from the body through urine. This reduction in fluid volume further helps in lowering blood pressure.
