Mechanism of Action

Cresar tablets feature telmisartan 20mg, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that helps relax blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood. By blocking the action of a hormone that narrows blood vessels, Cresar effectively reduces blood pressure and alleviates the strain on the cardiovascular system. Additionally, telmisartan helps improve blood flow and can have protective effects on the heart and kidneys. This medication is commonly prescribed for individuals diagnosed with hypertension to help prevent complications such as heart attack, stroke, and kidney disease.
