Used For
In Hypertension (high blood pressure)
Hypertension is a condition where the force of blood against the artery walls remains too high for a long time, putting extra strain on the heart and blood vessels. ZilRAAY-40Tablet helps lower blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump. This reduces the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and kidney damage when taken regularly.
