  • It helps relax and widen blood vessels by blocking the action of angiotensin II, allowing smoother blood flow and reducing strain on the heart.
  • This not only helps maintain stable blood pressure levels throughout the day but also lowers the risk of serious cardiovascular complications such as heart attack, stroke, and heart failure.
  • Extel 40 mg is suggested to protect heart health in patients with existing cardiovascular risk factors, including diabetes or a history of vascular disease.
  • Its long-acting effect ensures consistent control with once-daily dosing, making it a reliable option for ongoing hypertension management.

Safety Information

  • Liver
    • Extel 20 mg should be used carefully in patients with mild to moderate liver dysfunction, as the drug is primarily metabolised in the liver. It is strictly forbidden in patients with severe liver disease, such as cholestasis or biliary blockage.
  • Kidney
    • Extel 20 mg should be used carefully in patients with existing kidney disease, as it may alter renal function over time. Your doctor may periodically monitor your kidney function and potassium levels to ensure safe and effective use of this medicine.
