Introduction About DILVAS 2.5MG TABLET

Uses Of DILVAS 2.5MG TABLET
- Manage hypertension (high blood pressure)
- Manage heart failure
How DILVAS 2.5MG TABLET Works
DILVAS 2.5MG TABLET effectively reduces blood pressure and signs of heart failure. It works by blocking the actions of an enzyme called angiotensin-converting enzyme that causes narrowing of blood vessels and an increase in blood pressure. As a result, it relaxes the blood vessels and allows blood to flow more smoothly across the blood vessels with less pressure.
It also improves blood flow and oxygen supply to the heart muscles, which reduces strain on the heart, improves heart functions, and manages the risks of heart failure.
