Zator 40 mg Tablet 10's

Zator 40 mg Tablet 10's belongs to a group of medicines called loop diuretics (which increase urine production). It is primarily in the treatment of hypertension or high blood pressure. Hypertension is a chronic condition in which the force exerted by the blood against the artery wall is high. The higher this blood pressure, the harder the heart has to pump. Zator 40 mg Tablet 10's is also used along with other anti-hypersensitive medicines in the treatment of hypertension. It is also used to treat oedema (a build-up of fluid in the body) occurring due to heart failure and chronic renal failure (impaired kidney function resulting in kidney damage). Oedema may occur in high blood pressure where fluids of the body get trapped in the tissues of the hands, arms, feet, ankles, and legs, leading to its swelling.

Hypertension: It is a chronic condition wherein the blood pressure increases resulting in decreased blood and oxygen flow to the heart. Raised blood pressure can lead to angina (chest pain) and heart attack (when blood supply to the heart is blocked). Additionally, high blood pressure also causes brain damage (stroke) and kidney failure. High blood pressure can be diagnosed with the help of a blood pressure monitor or sphygmomanometer. Ideal blood pressure is around 120/80 mm of Hg.

Oedema: is a condition in which there is an excess of fluid in certain parts of the body (mainly ankles, feet, and legs), causing inflammation. It can occur due to various reasons like sitting for long periods or being overweight.
