How it Works

How Azilsartan medoxomil works Azilsartan medoxomil is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB). It relaxes blood vessels by blocking the action of a chemical that typically causes blood vessels to constrict. This lowers blood pressure, allowing blood to flow more smoothly to various organs and enabling the heart to pump more efficiently.
