Description:
Sustac 2.6mg contains Telmisartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension). By relaxing blood vessels, it helps lower blood pressure, reduces the workload on the heart, and decreases the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attack, stroke, and kidney damage.
