Medicine Description teveten-plus 12.5mg
Teveten Plus 12.5 mg Tablets is a medication that combines eprosartan and hydrochlorothiazide to effectively manage hypertension. Eprosartan, an angiotensin II receptor antagonist, works by selectively blocking the action of angiotensin II, a potent vasoconstrictor. This action leads to the relaxation of blood vessels, which decreases vascular resistance and lowers blood pressure. Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic that promotes the excretion of sodium and water from the body, reducing blood volume. The synergistic effect of these two components results in improved control of blood pressure and decreased workload on the heart.
