Antihypertensive agent, angiotensin II receptor antagonist. Blocks AT1-receptors, which leads to a decrease in the biological effects of angiotensin II, incl. vasoconstrictor action, stimulating effect on the release of aldosterone and activation of the sympathetic nervous system. As a result, blood pressure decreases.
Reduces the round robin, reduces afterload. Reduces blood pressure (with a minimum change in heart rate) and pressure in the pulmonary circulation, with a decrease in blood pressure is dose-dependent.
