Tazloc-40 Tablet contains telmisartan (40 mg). It works on your body in the following ways:

• Angiotensin II Receptor Blocking: Telmisartan binds selectively to angiotensin II receptors in the smooth muscles of your blood vessels and adrenal glands. This blocks the action of angiotensin II, a hormone that constricts blood vessels and triggers the release of another hormone called aldosterone.

• Vessel Dilation and Aldosterone Suppression: By blocking angiotensin II receptors, telmisartan helps dilate blood vessels and suppresses aldosterone secretion. This aids in reducing high blood pressure and easing the workload on your heart.

• Renin Secretion Regulation: Telmisartan inhibits angiotensin II's negative feedback on renin secretion but does not affect your blood pressure or fluid/electrolyte balance.

• Store your Tazloc-40 Tablet at cool and dry place with normal room temperature.

• Keep the medicine container tightly sealed to protect it from moisture.

• Always keep this medicine out of the reach of children.

• Check the expiry date before using and ensure you use your Tazloc-40 Tablet within its validity period.

• If you are managing high blood pressure with Tazloc-40 Tablet, try incorporating a low-sodium diet into your daily routine. Excessive salt can raise your blood pressure levels, so limiting your intake can be beneficial.

• Regular physical activity is also important for maintaining healthy blood pressure levels. Try to incorporate moderate exercise, like a brisk walk or cycling, into your daily routine. However, always consult your doctor before starting any new exercise regimen.
