Medicine Description teveten 600 mg
teveten 600 mg tablets is a medication that belongs to the class of angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs). It selectively inhibits the binding of angiotensin II, a peptide that generally induces vasoconstriction and stimulates aldosterone secretion. By blocking its receptor, eprosartan leads to vasodilation, which subsequently reduces blood pressure. This action helps alleviate the workload on the heart and improves blood flow. The reduction in angiotensin II activity also contributes to a decrease in the production of other substances that can raise blood pressure, making teveten effective for managing hypertension.
