What does it do?

Pimasartan potassium trihydrate granules belong to the angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) class. This ingredient is used in medications to control blood pressure and reduce cardiovascular strain. It is primarily used for the treatment of hypertension and the prevention of cardiovascular complications.

Pimasartan potassium trihydrate blocks the action of angiotensin II, which constricts blood vessels, thereby dilating the blood vessels. This results in lower blood pressure and reduced strain on the heart and blood vessels. Consequently, it decreases cardiovascular risks associated with hypertension.
