Mode of Action of Cresar Plus Tablet
How Does It Work?
-
Cresar Plus Tablet works by the combined action of all its active components – Amlodipine, Telmisartan and Hydrochlorothiazide.
-
Amlodipine and Telmisartan work by blocking a substance in the body that causes the blood vessels to tighten, relaxing blood vessels and allowing the blood to flow easily.
-
Hydrochlorothiazide works by helping the body get rid of extra fluid or water through urine, eventually lowering your blood pressure.
