Tazloc 40 Tablet

It belongs to a group of medicines called angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs), which are used mainly to treat high blood pressure and to help lower the risk of cardiovascular problems in some patients. Tazloc 40 Tablet may also be used in people with certain heart or blood vessel conditions when a doctor decides it is appropriate. This is an oral tablet made by USV, India, and it is intended for use exactly as prescribed.

How it works: Telmisartan in Tazloc 40 Tablet blocks angiotensin II from tightening blood vessels, so the vessels relax and blood can flow more easily. As a tablet, it gives a measured 40 mg dose that is taken by mouth and works over time to help control blood pressure.

Tazloc 40 Tablet is a 40 mg strength, which is a full therapeutic tablet for many adults and is not a starter dose for everyone.
