What does it do?

Azilsartan Medoxomil Potassium belongs to the class of angiotensin II receptor blockers and is used in medications to lower blood pressure. This ingredient helps to control blood pressure by dilating blood vessels.

Azilsartan Medoxomil Potassium prevents a substance called angiotensin II, which constricts blood vessels, from binding to blood vessel receptors, allowing the vessels to dilate. This results in lower blood pressure and reduces the strain on the heart.
