Description
Blaze 50mg Tablets are prescription medicines used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and certain heart-related conditions. They contain Losartan Potassium, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that helps relax blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily. By lowering blood pressure, Blaze tablets help reduce the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney damage in patients with hypertension and diabetes.
