Benefits of Teveten

Teveten works by relaxing the blood vessels to lower blood pressure. Blood flow is enhanced and the workload on the heart is lessened as a result.

Congestive heart failure can also be treated with Teveten in combination with other medications.

Teveten and other angiotensin II receptor blockers are used to treat high blood pressure either alone or in combination with other medications (such as ACE inhibitors, diuretics, or calcium channel blockers).
