Angiotensin II receptor blockers

Angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) are medications that help lower blood pressure and protect the heart. They work by blocking the action of a hormone called angiotensin II, which can constrict blood vessels and increase blood pressure. By preventing this action, ARBs relax blood vessels, making it easier for blood to flow and reducing the workload on the heart. They are commonly used to treat conditions like high blood pressure and heart failure and may also have benefits for kidney health. Examples of ARBs include Losartan and Valsartan.
