ABEL 40MG TABLET contains Azilsartan which belongs to the group of medicines called Anti-hypertensives. It is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). This medicine used alone or in combination with other antihypertensive agents.

ABEL 40MG TABLET helps in the treatment of high blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels and making it easier for the heart to pump blood.
