HOW ACMETO XL 25 TABLET WORKS

In hypertension, ACMETO XL 25 TABLET works by blocking the effect of adrenaline on the heart and decreasing cardiac output, also reducing the outflow of sympathetic neurons, and suppressing renin activity (normally responsible for the increase in blood pressure). Together, these actions lower blood pressure effectively.

In heart failure, ACMETO XL 25 TABLET slows down the heart rate and makes it easier for the heart to pump blood around the body.
